I don't see the design anywhere except in the third block on the top row and the last block in the bottom row.. I think it's because the colors emphasize it. Because of their location, I don't think it will be much of a trick to take those blocks out and rearrange the colors. I didn't grow up in Germany, but was a little girl in the US during WWII and the design leaped out at me. I think you would have to stretch to see it anywhere else. The colors are lovely and the borders are wonderful. But I don't imagine that you will be happy with until you "fix" those two blocks. Please post a picture showing what you decided. And thanks for being sensitive enough to see the design and know it might have a negative effect on your mom. froggyintexas

There appears to be an "unfortunate" pattern in some of the blocks. Seeing how my Mom was born and raised in Germany during the War, I just cannot leave those blocks as is. How do I fix just three or four of the blocks without taking the entire quilt apart?
