I have no info about who made the top....the fabrics have a lot of variety...some look like 1890's....some in the 30's. The flour sacks still have printed numbers on them. It's been a fun quilt...I put it over the GKs when they visit.

As for the "swasticka print"...if the fabric dates to pre-1940's or so..the swasticka was actually used as a symbol for friendship and wasn't demonized until Hitler started using it!!!
Google ( gammadion cross, cross cramponnée, or manji)to get the history...it wasn't always a sign of evil!
