    Yikes... While unintentional, that would be totally offensive to many especially the Jewish families. Is the maker going to see it again? Would it be a ton of work to replace those few squares? If not, maybe applique something to cover the center of those blocks????? Good luck..

    Oh get it now, why it looks like swastikas. The outer strips are dark like the center spoke strips

    On my hospice quilts I generally place an angel with the words "Sending an angel your way to protect and care for you today and forever..."

    I really like your idea! That may be the cure for this quilt!
