I agree - go back and get it and either keep it or give it to someone who would appreciate it. I can't imagine a parent being that unfeeling especially on Fathers Day.

I feel so bad for you, the hanging is beautiful and you did a great job, never would know it was your first. It's a shame Dad didn't appreciate it more. Sometimes men especially just don't know how to express joyful appreciative feelings.
All of us here appreciate your work. Hope you get it back at some point, since it's your first.

My dad once hung a tied quilt with a wool bat that his mother had made on the wall of the garage and used it to practice golf and and hit balls into it. I got angry and took it off the wall, took it to college with me and cuddled in it when I got homesick. Some men just don't appreciate things like that.

Quilt is beautiful! be gracious and just let it go. You were thoughtful enough to make a gift and just keep that thought in mind. It appears that in the future a "T-shirt" will work just as well.

I'm sorry that he can't appreciate a beautiful work of art like that - and handmade by you, too! There are so many soldiers and veterans who would very much appreciate it. I wonder if you could ask him to donate it to a veteran's group if he will not hang it. I'm not sure I could do it myself, but could you ask him what he WOULD like - specifically? If you are willing to risk it, you may ask him to choose a pattern and fabric next time. You will have many others to quilt for who will appreciate the time, effort, and love that went into it.

The quilt is beautiful. You were very thoughtful. People just don't understand what how much of yourself and how much love goes into making a quilt. This has happened to all of us. My DD made one for her MIL and it was used in the back of a station wagon for the dog to sleep on. Guess who never got another quilt.

I guess I am not as nice, I would tell her about seeing it covered in grease and let her know you have scraps she can have for that purpose, not a beautifully finished quilt.
