HUGE hug for you!! {{{{{{{{{{{{}}}}}}}}}}}}}
The quilt is lovely, it has plenty of patriotic feeling without going over the top.
I've seen too many that have every fabric used a RW&B and the quilt becomes
too busy with no place for the eye to rest. Still pretty, but to my eyes it's too much.
I'm so very sorry your dad acted the way he did. Please realize that his actions have nothing--
NOT A THING--- to do with you or your lovely sweet gift to him.
Your dad may be having sad or angry feelings about something that you aren't aware of. And possibly he
couldn't even articulate the problem.
Try to forgive his actions, he's only a man.
