My K size quilt is almost finished--TATW, one inch blocks. I want to put a label with laundry symbols on the back. All those tiny blocks won't hold up to heavy duty washers. Does anyone know where I might find them to add to my embroidered label? Think I have seen somewhere for free d/l. So grateful for any suggestions.

Wowser! 1 in blocks! It is totally amazing! Each corner looks perfect. I am stunned and it is stunning! Soory I can't help with labels. There is a lable that says 100% Cotton in DBC. I think I saw some in a yahoo group.

Thank you for the compliment & the sites. I can do labels, but I'm looking for the care symbols ..especially "soak" and "gentle" wash. This may not exist.

Thank you--I think one of those symbols will get me started. I will add the 'water temp' to my label.

Gosh, you have a lot of patience! I watched a video about quilting with one inch squares and it sure is a lot of work! This is an amazing quilt! I know I've seen ME symbols....somewhere...but can't remember where! I'll keep looking. You could print care info on fabric using your computer/printer if you can't find the symbols.

Thank you! I'm going to use this quilt and, of course, I know how to launder it. But we always think our projects will be heirlooms, don't we?

Great job, I would have been bored with it by the time I had enough for a throw pillow. I admire someone that can stick to a big task. I myself have a short attention span.
