Here we go again.... If Swastikas (real or perceived) bother you - throw it in a dumpster. Geez.... It's a nice top - honestly. Don't look at it that way and you will see that is a beautiful thing. It's history. Old, bad history. fuggetaboutit. And enjoy your latest! No quilt police, remember?

Choose to use the original meaning of the symbol as give here from an internet site...The swastika has an extensive history. It was used at least 5,000 years before Adolf Hitler designed the Nazi flag. The word swastika comes from the Sanskrit svastika, which means “good fortune” or “well-being." The motif (a hooked cross) appears to have first been used in Neolithic Eurasia, perhaps representing the movement of the sun through the sky. To this day it is a sacred symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Odinism. It is a common sight on temples or houses in India or Indonesia. Swastikas also have an ancient history in Europe, appearing on artifacts from pre-Christian European cultures.
