I agree -- I would make some fabric and design changes to avoid the swastika pattern. I'd probably use strips the color of the binding to square up the quilt. I like the shapes with the stick outs for table toppers not bed quilts for all of the reasons mentioned here.

very neat like your colors!!!

Interesting design that I think might lend itself better to a table topper or a hot pad. I don't think I'd like it for a "cover" as that point would be poking me and, as another mentioned, too easy to use it consistently to pull it up. I think it would be awkward as a cover

I think the points would be annoying on a lap, or larger, quilt.

That's different - I like it.

I've made the strata star as a table topper and it was a fun project. In agreeing with Bree about the "flaps", if it is a bed quilt you're thinking of making, maybe you could make it with only three flaps that drape over the sides and the foot of the bed so there wouldn't be one at the pillows? If it is a lap quilt, then I don't think there would be any issue with the shape shown.

I wouldn't use it for a lap quilt but it is pretty.

A swastika is very straight lines an rigid. This is not. This is a star pattern. "Diamonds" intertwined. I would have this as a table topper My neighbor who quilts is Jewish and she has this as a table topper.

Thank you tessagin! The design is supposed to be a star inside two boxes, or twirling diamonds.

That's a great idea about having 3 flaps, thank you! You would still have the pretty shape draped over the sides and foot of the bed, yet there wouldn't be a flap at your head.
