I'm not too sure about using crayons.... but I think an ironed on label in plain black and white would be nice. I could then fill in the blanks with my black permanent fabric pen. At some point, I may do a trial label using crayons and/or markers to see how it turns out before sewing it on an actual quilt.

Its a very good idea to label the quilts. I am planning on doing that, but I constantly forget it :o) Your blog is very nice!
those are pretty.... i've have an embroidery pattern that uses crayons to color in the design... the heat is supposed to set the color. I haven't tried it yet.
I have never seen quilt labels where can I get them? my e mail is
carantik@msn.com Thanks I love your labels.
The special boy one is on a baby quilt of my son's made 6 years ago by a family friend and has been washed repeatedly with no issues.
