Quilting is a wonderful release from worries. Its a reward for being alive and helps one to grow in strength. It is wonderful that you had such skill when you needed it as the quilt turned out to be a gem of color and comfort. Good for you for working into a positive mind. The reward is there in front of you combined with the support of your husband. You are a good team! I began quilting to gain strength after being ill for two years. The work helped me to be interested in something that would lead me away from feeling sorry for myself and into the world of color and design. That is an exciting place to be.
