That is one absolutely beautiful quilt. I'm so sorry a grumpy old man had to rain on your parade, worse yet that you couldn't get your umbrella up fast enough! You certainly shouldn't have had to go to the car because a creep thoughtlessly opened his mouth! Ask yourself "what is the real truth?" when those situations come up. (There are many roads to beauty, and you have found your own route) Then agree to disagree and hold your ground.
