Yes, yes, yes congratulations on your first quilt! Well done and fun to boot. All I can say is a big WOOF, WOOF.
I absolutely agree that you should label this one and those that you give to specific people: your full name, (Not Aunt whatever,) date your finished the quilt, and location if you wish. Some folks add a message or the name/source of the quilt pattern. That is up to you. Lots of organizations such as hospitals, nursing homes, Project Linus will accept your donated quilts but not if there is a name or other identifying information on the quilt. What I do is finish the quilt except for one corner. Then I can add the label or stitch down the binding on that final corner when it is time to gift, give away or donate.
Keep at it and keep showing us your successes and always, always have fun with your new found hobby, passion and pastime. But be careful you may become as obsessed as many of us on the Quilting Board.
