I had one quilt I gave away and used the wrong pen for writing on the label. I figured this out later after the quilt was gifted and there was no way to contact the person. The pen was not permanent and the ink would wash out! Oops!

I have been trying to put a folded triangle in the corner when I sew on the binding so it is caught in the binding. I don't know if that is proper or not.
