Would just say it was quilted by you MICHAEL

When I used to make raffle quilts for my son's elementary school, I would put...Machine pieced and hand quilted by......

Many good suggestions, and thinking as a potential bidder I have a new one: Simply Scraps is not a "money" name--why would I want to spend a lot of money for scraps? It needs a title more romantic and alluring, more thematic--Simple Beauty, Warmth and Beauty, Pieces United, Beauty the United Way, Beauty and Warmth United--something that evokes a desire to touch and own and use this item, and perhaps also references the United Way connection. I would want to know the fiber content of both fabric and filling, as I like cotton and avoid polyester because I find it uncomfortable; use and care info could influence my eagerness to own this quilt by letting me know dry cleaning is necessary or that the item is easy care/machine wash and dry. Size is important, both measured and descriptive: Lap quilt, xx" by xx" tells me what purpose it could fulfill. Pieced and quilted by Michael Holmes, 2011 would tell me it is handmade (and therefore worth much more), by whom, and when (new or old). Missouri Quilt Co info is not relevant to the buyer.

That sounds good to me

I agree. For those that don't know, made with scraps sounds like a leftover project and not the "real" thing. I'd use the words "made with a variety of quilt quality fabrics". To a quilter they would know scraps; the others just think you used many fabrics.
For some reason the word "scraps" has taken on a negative connotation for some, even other sewers/quilters. Not everyone likes scrappy looking quilts. I think their ingenuity and colorfulness is beautiful.
I think the less you can get by with for your label the better. I had special labels made with my name on them for my special projects. I was working out of my home doing wedding dresses. One day I received a call from a dry cleaners about a dress I had made. I had no clue what this person was talking about (I had supposedly put the zipper in upside down- then how could they try it on?). Anyway the gal at the cleaners kept calling me back and demanding that I come to them and fix this before the bridesmaid came. I said that I was no longer responsible as the owner had accepted the dress and paid for it when she left me. It is up to the owner now and not the maker. I had to finally insist that the lady stop, and I asked if she would call JC Penney to come to her cleaners to fix a dress instead of calling the person who brought it in. She said "that's different". Really? How? I decided that too much information can give others a chance to pass the buck by to the label and not to themselves where it should be. Just be fore warned!

I like the idea of using United or United Way as part of the title!
