Kimberlie,
I'm so sorry that your Dad did that to you. You did a very good job on your quilt and it looks very patriotic to me.
Please don't let this unpleasant experience stop you from making more beautiful quilts. (((((( HUGS )))))
My SIL did something similar to me, I made a basket quilt for her and DH's brother as a wedding gift. She only shows the back of the quilt, not the front. I put a lot of work into the piecing the blocks and doing the quilting.
