Hi Ericka.
That's an interesting idea, but I'm not sure it would be clear enough.
My thought was, it's not always real clear to me what a knit picture is supposed to be, so, if I label it, I'll always know, oh yeah, that's a bird, or whatever.

Wow I’m impressed! You know, some store-bought blankets have a saying printed on them. Maybe we should have a project of some sort on display at the next convention in person with a message panel in it. That is really cool Tracy!

Each letter took 3 stitches, 2 for the cell and 1 to separate it from the next letter, and I put a purl row between also. So it took some planning, but now I have a label built into my square, for when I forget while I'm admiring my blanket years from now.
