I put a label on it and wrote his name in permanent ink. I was thinking about embroidering it on there somewhere as well. I also am sending a note and a permanent ink pen to my sister in law with the quilt so she can write any other info they might need on it. She will be taking it to him. They all live up in Washington.
I actually liked the flannel backing and it was easy to quilt. I was worried it might not slide as well, but it did fine.
