That is NOT a swastika. First of all, it is facing the wrong way and secondly, the four [B][I]separate elements [/I][/B] are curved.

A swastika can go either way or even be curved it’s still a swastika variation of which there are many.

Purists might not care for the design, but it'd still be illegal in German....

Thanks for your reply. I only saw this by accident I turned on the TV Saturday one morning and saw two women unfolding this quilt; I jumped from my chair and went right up to the screen. I was shocked... They even sell it as a kit. In the past before WWII swastika were common in quilts. I have seem pictures of them in books on folk Art.

No it can't. There is only one way to make a swastika and that is the "bent cross" design. Anything else is an imitation regardless of the what anybody says in the links you provided.
