First off ((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))
Second it is a Beautiful Quilt and you should be proud of it!!! Sounds to me like maybe he is grumpy bcause he is missing someone who used to tell him all those things about quilts. My dad has become one of those grumpy old men since his wife is gone. He just doesn't know how to express it any other way. Forgive those who can not help themselves and be proud of your own accomplishments
