    What a wonderful video. Not enough time to make all of these, but will try. Pinwheel variations were fun to watch. Definitely not swastikas. Though folks from one culture or another must see things that we do not always see. At least there were 6 pointed star variations to balance it off. I make Quilts of Valor for USA veterans and am always careful not to use rail fence or pinwheels in variations that would look like the swastika. I was delighted with the Grandmother's Fan variations. Thank you for your creativity.

    about the NFB QUILT video containing a quilt with the swastika cross Patricia L. Cummings has researched some history of the block that caused distress to one of the commenters here That cross with the broken arms was a sewing/art design long before the Nazi party adopted it. That quilt has earlier history than the 1930's and 1940's The design has a history of 3000 years. To assign meaning to antique patterns without their history can cause unnecessary distress. © Copyright, May 1, 2009. Patricia L. Cummings, Quilter's Muse Publications, Concord, NH.

    Really, thepoopsmith, that's what you got out of this? A negative? Wow, you had to dig pretty deep to come up with that. This is really a nice piece. Totally enjoyed it. ALL positive thoughts came out as I watched it. Maybe you should try again.

    Did anyone else notice the swastikas at the the beginning? Awful :(

    This sweet video clearly demonstrates the roles that geometry and colour play iin quilt design. The music is a perfect match. Thanks!

    I love this!!! It was so inspiring, and the music couldn't have been any better. I want to go start sewing this minute but spring has sprung and the yard it calling me. Maybe my quilt room will have me some tonight.

    Looks like it was inspired by "Square Dance" a film board animation that I used teaching geometry concepts to 2nd grade students in the 70's. Delightful. I will recommend it to my elementary teacher friends.

    6 minutes and 37 seconds of pure delight. Absolutely the best eye candy for a quilter. I'm in the middle of teaching a intermediate quilting class and will forward this to them. Gotta get to a sewing machine NOW!
