    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:

    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...)
