Man, so once you find yourself in a situation with four or five quilts from JRB, how do you keep track of which one is which? I normally go on trips by myself, but after a family trip, i'm left with a sea of green quilts. I can tell the Nest and Winter Nest from the others because of the center slit, but then its a matter of which feels heavier? Does anyone else have this problem?

Fortunately, I don't have this problem, thanks to colorblindness. :-)
I've gone to find myself. If I get back before I return, make sure I stay here.
When I see lovers' names carved into a tree, I don't think it's cute. I think it's strange how so many people take knives on a date.

LOL - they do need to get some color choices, huh? Even had trouble distinguishing between my Greylock and AHE Jarbridge in the same color. Well, sort of, at first glance anyway. Would be the same for Warbonnet (black), but then they don't offer the same breadth of product line.

We have always labeled ours on the back of the tag. I have a fleet of JRB's and I feel your pain if I hadn't labeled everything as I bought them. I have even labeled the stuff sacks!
I feel your pain, but on the other hand, limited color choices make for easier inventory management which translates into a tracking number usually within an hour or so of placing the order. Plus, I like green...makes me feel woodsy...

Laundry/permanent marker, sew a tag/ribbon/ or a patch of thread, consider using different color nano biners for the head end. But I only have one JRB...

What an awesome problem to have and solve! Love me some JRB stuff!
Thinking I will have to utilize some of the solutions mentioned too.
Thanks for posting.
Ha. Yea besides the mt wash I have, all the jrb rectangular quilts are sewn the same, so have to go by weight. I mix up a couple of the winter quilts regularly.
My wife wrote the names on the tags, it can be a little hard to tell them apart when not fully lofted for sure.
