I join everyone else in congratulating you on a super-well-done quilt. Somehow I missed the original posting and was so glad you included the link so I could go back and read about your quilt. I was definitely NOT bored but was wishing I could read about all 30 blocks. I don't blame your children for all wanting custody of the quilt!
Have you considered taking a photo of each block and writing about that block and including whose charms you used and making it into a book? It would be something that could be passed down with the quilt and future generations, not only from your family but from the quilting world and beyond could enjoy the unique story behind your quilt? (Yes, I think it is that good!) And be sure to include your ribbons or photos of them in the book. I would pay to have a copy. And, from reading about your husband and children, and you, what a wonderful family you have!
Oh, and definitely include copy of all the great responses you received on QB from both your posts.

Congratulations!!! You so deserve it! I am totally blown away by this quilt! I followed the link to your previous post and read through all the beautiful memories depicted in every block and the fact that you have made a note of each and every set of charms and named the person who sent them is meaningful beyond words! You should be really, really proud!
