There has to be more to this story. Is that a dog that is known? Did the dog die? What is the story?

Is this a joke?

look at it this way...he loves you enough to be honest, which is very important in a solid relationship......perhaps you could give it to someone else, or donate it.....BTW, it is a lovely wall hanging!!

There's no accounting for taste, however, we do know he had good taste once. He married a quilter, YOU! I love it. That dog must have been hard. Is it applique? By hand?

I'm sorry he didn't like it. I know from experience that it hurts your feelings, especially if it is someone close. I think it is great and would love to receive it. If it were my hubby he would not get anything else I made, would go to the bottom of the gifting list, LOL.

Oh dear. pictorial quilts are so iffy....because they involve personal likes and dislikes.
Did you ask if he dis-liked the border fabric, or the dog's head?
....or the whole idea, before you made it?

It probably is a one time thing.
He probably likes other quilts you have made.
He won't mind if you give it to someone else, thankfully.

I myself do not care for animal heads or peoples face portraits very much because a good photo - another media-
does a better job, but I absolutely love all kinds of other quilting projects.

I am so sorry about your husband. I think the wall hanging is lovely.

That's really nice!!! I'm so sorry he didn't like it. Men. Sometimes they don't understand good taste. Giggle - I hope you gave him a hard time about it!

I made a boxer for my sister. I showed it to my dad and my brother and they both said, "oh." When I gave it to my sister, I told her to tell me she loved it whether she didn't or not and I told her the response of the men in my family. (So I wasn't big enough to take the truth. I needed some positive expression.) She made a huge fuss all over it and made compliments on what I did. She told me all the ways she could use it.

I think she was genuinely tickled to have it especially with the dedication I put on the label.
