I love your quilt & can't believe your Dad was so, well let's say "unkind." I can feel your pain, really I can. I have given my husband gifts (not even homemade things) and he just out and out didn't like it. That feeling of rejection and disappointment is so painful and I'm so sad for you. I would rather have a homemade gift from my kids (grown now), than anything purchased. Even if it wasn't "my cup of tea," I couldn't be cruel like that. So sorry for your pain.
