I don't know that I would have even bought it. I probably would have walked right by it and just felt seething anger when I looked at it. It carries too much garbage with it to in any way, shape or form explain it away.winiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02590403016168074055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2025828033621089463.post-31437408402101255062014-03-10T06:26:50.433-04:002014-03-10T06:26:50.433-04:00Love the quilt you made, Pepper.

Many quilter friends made me blocks for this quilt, including one block that uses a heart to depict love and a swastika to depict hate. It has been a challenge for me to determine how to lay out the blocks to make it clear that the sentiment is anti-swastika ... I'm still working on it.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01297446812802639979noreply@blogger.com
