Lint, lint and more lint

Working with flannel can be a bit linty. This has been my problem today. I was sewing merrily along when the machine told me I needed to fix the bobbin. Well, much to my horror I had forgotten to clean the bobbin and feed dogs out the last time I put a fresh bobbin in the machine. I had lint packed around the feed dogs so bad I'm amazed they could function. Bet I don't forget to do that again.

I had to cut more blocks out for the flannel quilt and more batting blocks. I am using 7 inch squares of brown and green flannel for the blocks with batting squares of approximately 6 inches. Then, I sew from one corner to the other diagonally across the block in both directions. When I'm assembling the blocks I use a half inch seam allowance for blocks and rows. 

What do you listen to or watch while quilting? Today I watched two of Bonnie Hunter's recorded quilt cams. They were from 2013. It's amazing how you can learn from watching someone else sew. I have always struggled with knowing how to label a quilt. In one of the episodes I watched today, Bonnie covered what she does. She uses an eight inch square of fabric folded into a triangle, bastes it onto the quilt back so two edges of the triangle will be sewed in the binding seam and then she hand stitches the remaining side down when she is sewing the binding down. 

The quilt group I was a member of in Colorado insisted that every quilt had a label. Because we sold all of our quilts we used preprinted labels that we filled out with our information: the quilt name, month and year it was completed in, whether it was hand or machine quilted and then hand sewed them to the lower, left hand quilt back once the quilt was completed.  

I like Bonnie's method of labeling quilts. I will be able to write a personal message to the person I made the quilt for and include any other information that I feel is pertinent. Wish I'd known this before I gave my great-grandson his baby quilt! May ask for the quilt back so I can add a label to it.
What method do you use to attach labels to your quilts? Or do you attach a label? What info do you include on your label?

All of this because of the flannel quilt I'm making for our bed in the new LQ horse trailer. Think it needs a label to commemorate the occasion!
