I will usually put on the label something like "from a pattern by _____"
or "inspired by ________" If it is my own design I say so. (Designed
and made by ___________" Or "An original ________ design.") Something
like that.

I also have started putting on what batting I use, and if I use a
particular fabric line I include that info too. (I fantasize about some
day doing a trunk show, and people want to know that information.) Just
think about what you would want to know about a quilt when you see it.
Put that information on the quilt label. I also, if there is a light
color backing, or space in the backing, just write the information on
the quilt with a pigma pen. Makes sure it stays with the quilt and
cannot be removed. I do this even if I put a separate label on.

Names, places, dates are givens. But how do you identify the
contributions of those who worked on a quilt? A person designs an
original quilt, pieces or appliqués it, sends it to a longarmer, and
then binds and labels the quilt. "Quilted by" is an accurate
description for the longarmer, but how do you title the designer/sewer?

Interested to hear how others solve this problem.
