BeliaBoo thank you so much for the information. In my opinion this quilt is beautifully done. It had not meaning at the time it was made I am positive, other than that was probably someone's favorite colors. Treasure it, do not let the negative affect the Nazi party did toward this symbol. The quilt and the design are both pieces of living history. You might consider allowing a museum to purchase the quilt. I saw a post earlier in which someone was very negative about wanting it as opposed to others their mother had. This is a treasure, someone look a lot of time to make this and it deserves to be cherished.

I have an antique quilt block with this pattern from the 1800s. Native Americans of the southwest called the pattern " four winds". It predates the German misiuse by many years. Your quilt has historic significance and will be more valuable in the future.
