I didn't "get" the swastika symbol until I really stared at it. I don't think it looks much like a swastika! It's a beautiful quilt! :D :D You know, the swastika is an ancient symbol and only recently associated with bad people.
I found this: The word swastika is derived from the Sanskrit svastik, meaning any lucky or auspicious object, and in particular a mark made on persons and things to denote good luck.
So, what I would say is "what a lucky baby to have such a gorgeous quilt!"

You did such a great job on the quilt to have to focus on "the problem". I think that your Mom has a wonderful solution and the quilt will turn out to be beautiful. And to top it off, just think of the funny story you can tell your friend about...in a few years... :lol:

Thanks guys. I'm going to buy some dark pink thread after work and see what I can do with it. My uncle did have that idea to add pink to the white in the squares--a decorative stitch or something. But he's also the one that says it's silly to cut a big piece of fabric into little pieces just to put it back together again. :roll: He told me a green magic marker and some Christmas trees would completely cover anything I didn't like. Not quite the advice I was looking for....

I did take a few minutes myself to see what the problem with the quilt was until I looked harder... and feel sad that society has made this "good Luck" symbol into a terrible reminder of evil.
Ady... the quilt is just beautiful and your Mum has a great idea. If that is what with make you the most comfortable, then do what you should do. The quilt is absolutely beautiful and that is one very lucky little baby!
Cheers
