if that block will be used without being attached to others like it, then yes. it does look like a swastika even though it's reversed.

I was thinking that block was going to be part of an over-all design - not a stand alone block.

If it were mine, I would take it apart along the four units and rearrange them - it kind of looks like someone sitting in someone's lap if I really stretch my imagination.

Rearrange that block... you will never be happy with it like that... would have worked well if it was going to be a rail fence pattern... there are other ways of changing it ... it might be a good idea to scrap it and make something different... lovely work....

you could take out the seams for the two pieces on the right hand side and put your floral fabrics on the inside to make it look a bit more like a pinwheel

This is what I mean to do pics work better for me

great idea. imo, can't be offensive to anybody.

I like that better too. Great idea, and great solution. BTW, I showed it to my husband without any intro, and he saw the swastika straight off.

I just showed it to my DH. He doesn't see it as a swasticka (SP??) and his mind is very logical. He's an engineer, so I know designs are very natural for him. Anyway, I'm also a Jew and would normally be quite sensitive to something like that. Again, I don't see it either.

That being said, I think the image is there for you, and you will be happier if you rearrange the block. Especially since you keep lamenting over it!

Your other squares are quite pretty by the way!

I agree with many of the comments...the bottom line is "It bothers You". If that's the case make a change or you might run the risk of ever enjoying this pretty quilt.
I think your blocks are great and maybe by taking this block out or altering it...you'd have a quilt you'll love for a long time. Remember, this is just MHO
