Naming a quilt is an important step for a quilting artist to include. The name may be placed on the quilt block, border, on the back quilting, or on a separate label which is then attached to the quilt. The quilt needs an identity.
Take time and thought to name a quilt. Naming your quilt before or after your quilting project is important. It is critical for identification especially if you enter your quilts into shows. The given name of the quilt will remain forever.
There are quilt instructions for preparing labels, but no instructions on how to name a quilt. Have you given much thought and an appropriate amount of time to name your creation?
The quilt label will contain the name of the quilt, the date it was made, and your name or signature. If your quilt is a gift, you would also include “made for”. Certain situations may require including your city, state, and country. Perhaps a special message will be necessary.
There are quilt instructions which recommend the label be made on a separate piece of cloth with cross-stitching, embroidery, or another favorite stitching technique or scripted with permanent fabric ink then stitched to the backside of the quilt or sewn directly on one of the quilt blocks or on the quilt border.
When you name a quilt it will have value. It needs to be a good name.
How to name a quilt with an example:
The list can become very lengthy as your imagination opens different name categories. The quilt, like a boat, is never renamed.
Where to find names:
One of my quilts is named “My Conversations at Tea Time”. The name of the quilt came from recalling a meeting with friends and family for a cup of tea. Should you see the quilt the name is very descriptive and you would also recall a similar meeting with your friends?
After seeing the quilt, the name will remain in your memory. It will remain because everyone has conversations. You may not be a tea drinker, but you are familiar with this beverage. A visual cue was implanted in the brain before and later reinforced after seeing the quilt. Once you name a quilt, the name never changes.
What is the purpose of naming your quilt?
The name identifies the quilt. Regardless of where the quilt lives, it has an identity.
