I loved your story. I was going to read it to my family but wanted to show them the picture first so they would really understand what I was telling them and before I could speak, my 17 year old son said "you mean the swastika looking thing"? I could not believe he saw it. They still laughed at your story about the swastika bags. :mrgreen:

LOL...I told part of the story to my DH and showed him the picture...Then I finished reading it and had to show him again. Neither one of us noticed it at the beginning....OMG..Still LOL.

I just had my 16 yo daughter come look at the pic and asked her what she thought of the quilt block. She says "Mom! Why is it the Nazi sign!

I have to admit I had a hard time seeing it myself. I was planning on making a quilt with this block but guess maybe I better rethink it. Especially not make one for this daughter! :lol:

Why is it that quilters didn't recognize it, but kids and non quilters did?? Do we just have "selective seeing?"

'selective seeing' - good one!

Yes I guess we do - look at all the mistakes we see but others don't.

Thats to funny. I made my brother a wallhanger several years ago (1 of my first) I think it was the Chevron block and my nephew noticed the pattern made a swastick symbol about a year ago so now when I go to my brothers thats all I see in that wallhanger. I'm in the process of replacing it. :-D

I think it only did that because I duplicated the green in the fourth row. I wouldn't have had that, had I not. Please do make a fence rail they're really pretty just don't do what I did. (At least I learned on a bag and not on a quilt...)

I didn't see it til you mentioned it. It's a beautiful block otherwise.

It's a beautiful block, I had to squint to see it. Kids have such keen eyes and ears lol

It's still a great idea for the bags. thank you for showing it. And the heart makes it look good.
