I missed this thread when you first posted your blocks. I just read all the posts and love the blocks you choose and the stories that go with them.
I think the 'Turkey' story is one of my favourites.
Great that the two of you can present the top at Thanksgiving. I am sure they will be delighted with the quilt. I love the plan to do a booklet to explain the reasoning behind the various blocks.
The finished quilt will be a treasured keepsake for generations to come.
