Hi Michael. Welcome to the Quilting Board from sunny Nevada! Don't worry about your sister wanting to smack you. It's just because she loves you and is proud of you. I have two brothers. I always hit them when I'm proud of them, or they do something special. It's a sibling thing, probably something neurotic, but what can you do? I've never met a family yet that wasn't dysfunctional in one way or another.
By the way, your quilt is gorgeous, and you're a very creative man, and if you were my brother, I'd want to smack you too!
Happy Holidays!
