My first endeavor - ugh

So my very first quilt was a rather large endeavor, which is unfortunate because I really don't like it.  It's well made with perfectly matched up lines, no significant wrinkles, and some pretty darn good hand-quilting for a beginner.  But I hate it for two reasons.  For starters, it was the mid-90s and the colors and fabrics clearly show that.  Cream with burgundy and forest green.  Ugh.  So heavy.  But I didn't think that then.  Secondly and more significantly, is the pattern and/or the pattern and arrangement of fabrics. what a lesson for a beginner quilter.  I picked out a simple, classic pattern that was good for a first endeavor, the roman square.  It was for a double bed or maybe even a queen, I can't remember now.  I put it together using strip piecing, which meant that I had all the green, combo, and burgundy strips sewn together before I ever had a single block made.  By the time I started making blocks I wasn't really looking at the big picture.  I was excited about the process.  I sewed it all up and then set to work hand quilting it.  Yes, hand quilting!  What century was I in?  That's the second-to-last quilt I hand-quilted, because who wants to spend time on that?  I've since decided I would much rather move on to the next project.  I spent weeks hand-quilting it until it was finally done.  Somewhere in that process, someone (I can honestly say I don't even remember who at this point, whether it was family, friend, or stranger, I don't know, but someone) commented that it looked like a swastika.  I vehemently objected.  What?  It's a roman square, which is different from a swastika because the center lines (green in this quilt) don't go straight across but jog.
Interestingly, a swastika was a very common quilt pattern long before it was a repugnant sign of hatred.  How sad to think of all the swastika pattern heirloom quilts that people no longer wanted to use.
Anyhow, swastika it wasn't, and I was upset that someone even suggested a similarity, but their suggestion stuck.  I hate that damn quilt now.  Nearly 20 years later, it is kept folded up in the chest in the rumpus room and used only as a back up blanket when all the other things have been pulled out and used up (so hardly ever).  I can hardly look at it even then.  I usually turn it over so I'm just looking at the lovely cream fabric with all that tidy hand quilting.
I never saw that pattern while I was making it, whether because of the technique that I used or because I just wasn't looking for it.  I can see now that if I had just rearranged the colors, it wouldn't have looked so similar to a swastika at all.  It's the order of the green, combo, and burgundy that caused the problem. Then I would have just been stuck with a boring quilt in 90s colors.  There are worse things, like a almost-swastika quilt for example.
The irony is that even 20 years ago I was well on my way to becoming Jewish (though I didn't know it yet), and anything remotely like a swastika is the last thing I could have ever wanted on a quilt.
So here it is.  I can barely look at it, but when you do, know that IT'S A ROMAN SQUARE!

Look at all that hand-quilting; was I insane?

Roman square, not to be confused with anything else
