I love your quilt, you did a beautiful job, and you should be ever so proud of your accomplishment with this quilt. Some people cannot express their emotions and they are not to blame, we just have to try to understand, and be bigger than that. Don't let the mind chatter stop you - remember you are pretty special to have done this for them.

Can it be that they are just so overwelmed that they don't know what to say or do ?
We all think it's great anyway and you know you made it with love so feel at peace with yourself.

The quilt is great. But maybe he has enough military in his job and would like his home to be a refuge from that military life. My brother was 25 year Navy. When he was off duty he had nothing military on him. He was being picked up by his squad at the airport. He bumped a man. The man asked who he was. Command Master Chief he said without even getting out of his very unmilitary sitting position. And the man said "sir". Is there anything I can do for your". But he had regular clothes on so the man was not able to tell. He looked like a civilian. Maybe your parents separate the Military and the home life totally like my brother.

I think it looks wonderful. My husband's father was retired military and he normally wouldn't say anything very positive or affection to him, but to me or others he would brag about him. I wouldn't let anything discourage me from doing what I love especially when you are do such wonderful work. You have a lot of talent.

Did I do something wrong? Any input would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to not get depressed and quit quilting over this.
