I agree, keep it whole. Ask your cousins if any of them would be interesting in "hosting" the quilt at their house for a certain period of time. Kind of like a library loan. It would always come back to you and you could send it out for loan to the next person. Don't forget to put yourself in the loan schedule. Some probably wouldn't want to participate, some would. I like the idea also of taking photos of those squares that go with certain people. Maybe print the photo on printable fabric and make a wall hanging or pillows.
