Nice quilt and story. We are cowboy fans also. My grandson was the same way, I didnt quilt then tho, but what we did was got the spray of "Monster Be Gone" out. Its just frebreeze or you can dilute downy fabric softener in water. Then spay it where he thinks monsters are. The smell helped to remind him that the "monster be gone" spray was still working. Now he is 6 and outgrown the monster fear.
