I am so sorry you had to endure such hurt.
You have every right to be proud of your quilt! It is lovely, the work is right on and it is 110% patriotic!
I am just speechless at your dads reaction, but it is his loss. You are a wonderful thoughtful daughter and desire a lot of credit for doing such a thoughtful thing.
My hubby is a vet and he thinks this is very patriotic and nice.
