It would be a shame to remove it, but it won't wash, will it. Maybe one day, washable newspaper? There is so much history in a quilt isn't there!

So much can be gleaned from looking through these squares. As newspapers themselves become more and more rare in this still new centtury, the very existence of the quilt's construction becomes even more valuable.<br /><br />The Nazi's adoption of the classical swastika does have a long lasting reverberation. I doubt that this particular graphic shape will ever get rehabilitated.<br /><br />Happy September...hoping your internet is now reconnected.<br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-17892835088909180412014-08-31T13:53:27.909-04:002014-08-31T13:53:27.909-04:00There must be hours of work in those.

What fun to read about those days.<br /><br />An old high school building in the Milwaukee suburbs had swastikas inlaid with tiles in one area. Lots of discussions about whether or not to remove the old icons and in 1991 the school board voted to remove them. A history lesson lost.NCmountainwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00615765649828716560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-18371534346540402042014-08-31T10:47:57.788-04:002014-08-31T10:47:57.788-04:00Happy to have them in hands that appreciate the hi...Happy to have them in hands that appreciate the history and time put into them.<br />danniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09927115644696786196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-48540184564803853062014-08-31T10:02:44.338-04:002014-08-31T10:02:44.338-04:00I wonder how many generations will pass before the...I wonder how many generations will pass before the running cross symbol could be purged from connecting with Nazism.
