This quilt is a Swirly Girls pattern called Perfect Ten. It calls for ten fat quarters plus border and accent fabric. I used a Riley Blake line called Our World. I changed the borders a little, adding an inner border and cornerstones, but the body of the quilt is straight from Perfect Ten. This pattern is super easy with big pieces, no triangles, and clear directions. Perfect Ten is a perfect beginner pattern. This quilt measures 61"x74".
The back of the quilt is dark blue minky. I know that a lot of people use minky on baby quilts, but I also know that it makes a super cuddly quilt for anyone.
Most of the time, I print quilt labels using the computer, but for special quilts, I cross stitch them.

Great quilt. Yes, minky feels super cuddly.
Your son's girlfriend sounds like a most worthy recipient for one of your beautiful quilts, Laura. Love the fabrics you chose, especially all the maps. The dark blue minky looks luxurious and soft. It would be perfect to snuggle up in.
I didn't know that minky would be wide enough for a quilt that size. I bought some minky-like fabric last week and used it for the first time on my longarm. I love the way the quilt turned out and was thinking I would use it again.
I love the pattern and will look out for it at my local quilt shop. Claire is sure to love it.

The minky on the back was a great choice! And the cross stitched label is awesome! I hope she, maybe, becomes part of your family in due time. At any rate, she'll know she is loved by the gift of this quilt!
Great quilt! Love the minkee back too.
