My son came in as I was finishing the binding and said "Wow, Mom, why did you do swastikas in your quilt?" I didn't redo it. I sewed yellow buttons in the centers of the white rails that stood out the most and made them flowers.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16587712650145168495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7567148070676790205.post-69076624051938401262012-03-05T12:08:39.455-06:002012-03-05T12:08:39.455-06:00I'd have been as surprised as you.

You've got lots of good things going on in your sewing world.

I'd redo that one if it were mine, but hey, if it doesn't bother you, then don't worry about it. :) <br />I love your stained glass quilt, and that's one of the "to do" things on my list!Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08267295109172612804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7567148070676790205.post-72040552350415947882012-03-05T11:01:09.869-06:002012-03-05T11:01:09.869-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.swoozehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16072848652991759330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7567148070676790205.post-17130642387118847532012-03-05T11:00:51.063-06:002012-03-05T11:00:51.063-06:00Only two of the rail fence blocks look like swasti...Only two of the rail fence blocks look like swastika's.

Sorry there seemed to be more ripping than planned--but that's always the way with seam ripper use :) The swastika is an ancient symbol whose true meaning was forever demonized by the Nazis and no one can forget that. I have had to discard some swapped rail fence blocks for the same reason.AnnieOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06619125197850685345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7567148070676790205.post-80602875434681745672012-03-05T09:25:50.695-06:002012-03-05T09:25:50.695-06:00I am afraid that they do show up to the eye.
