You did a really great with the cousin. I have not been quilting long and my first quilt took about 6 months to make I gave it to my son for a wedding present, It was a cal-king 120 X 140 in. I went to his house recently he had it in the corner of his livingroom for the dogs and cats to sleep on. I CRIED all the way home. Some people just don't understand all the work time, energy and money that we put into our creations. Good going wish I had said something to my son.
