Right now I'm working on some blocks for a friendship quilt. Everyone makes 15 blocks and then exchanges with everyone else.
I was so excited when I finished my first block last night. I thought it was so cute. I pinned it on the wall so I could look at it from a distance. Unfortunately you'll never believe what I saw (you may have to squint your eyes a little for the full effect)...
Can you see it? My unintended anti-Semitic message? Can you imagine... a swastika in the middle of everyone's beautiful autumn quilt. Yeah, I don't think so! This is when I throw the block out and go back to the drawing board.
Meet Daniel and Brittany
The challenge that began with "Have a nice life, Daniel Burton" is progressing with favorable results. Surviving and thriving on lively discussions about books, Abby, or the post-grad school world, the Burtons show signs of excellent health and familial success.
Dan and Britt met on a hot July 4th in 2005. Shortly after inviting her to join him for a panoramic view of the Independence Day fireworks, and not long after her denial, Daniel and Britt agreed to break the ice over ice cream. They soon realized that they were both book geeks, decided a permanent union was worth evaluating, and were married just over a year later on another beautiful July day.
After graduating with a law degree from both he and Brittany's alma mater's rival, Daniel is corporate counsel at the Woodbury Corporation, a commercial real estate management and development company in Salt Lake City. Meanwhile, and far more interestingly, Brittany is raising a new generation of Burtons as full-time mother and family creative director. Abby is two and a half, and #2 is on the way, with arrival expected in late June of 2011. The Burtons look forward to many years of exploring canyons, creeks, and mountain tops, swapping novels, notes, and ideas, and enjoying great discussions about people, politics, and their family.
Daniel and Brittany are both graduates of the 2002 class of Brigham Young University. Abby is gunning to graduate from diapers, sooner than later.

That's Hilarious!!! I'm glad you noticed it before getting it made into a quilt...
I know, seriously, that would have been a disaster.
Ooops!
I'm sure it isn't hilarious as far as having to start from scratch. However, that is pretty classic.
it's too bad that this ancient symbol that many different cultures have used for thousands of years became a "bad" symbol due to the nazis.
it's actually supposed to represent things like LIFE, PROSPERITY, and I know in Islam, MAN'S CREATION (I believe it is either within the Kirkland or Nauvoo temple you will find the swastika… as it is meant to symbolize man's creation/life).
you need to go to sensitivity training!
When we were in Nepal, we'd see swastikas all over the place. They are used commonly in Hindu and Buddhist art and represent the evolution of the universe. Hitler adopted it for his own use and has ruined this ages old symbol for everyone since.
