Ya gotta love a "cranky old man",,, especially one with so much to say about "quilting"!!!! LOL
You know and i know this is a work of art and what's gone into it... poor guy probably wants to go down to the stream and beat his clothes with a stick instead of using a washing machine as well!!!!!! :)

...we could go on and on...
BTW, your quilt is absolutely amazing!

:!: here's a hug :!: A lot of older men are bitter, whether it be dmentia or jus unhappiness...I dealt with this from my FIL for yearrrrrs....he never ever had a good thing to say about anything or anyone...don't take it to heart, pray for him that he softens up. By the way, beautiful colors, I always shy away from white, figure my quilting is not good enough and will show up! ;-)

I think you should have politely tried to change his mind.
Age is no excuse for rudeness.
And your quilt is worthy of praise, not criticism.
It is the doing of it, anyway, that is the expression of skill and love.

(((((((((HUG)))))))))
Some people don't consider the feelings of others before they start spouting off. You have made a beautiful quilt. It will be an heirloom, and well loved. Pay no attention to what the man said. He was no gentleman.
