Great idea for the chronological order of the blocks.
Maybe you'd like to add the year onto each block?
When I did a quilt for our BiCentennial, I did similar, but a maple leaf for each province/territory with the name and year included.

This brings back memories to me. My parents started a state bird/flowers embroidered quilt before they were married. They married in 1948. This quilt only has 48 embroidered blocks, because there were only 48 states then. They never finished it, so I finished it when I was a teenager. (I am now 66!) My parents, of course, are no longer here, but I am privileged to own this quilt.
