I remember so well when I first saw the quilt when portions of it were being displayed across the United States. I saw it in Portland, Oregon in the late 80's where a huge panel of quilts covered the floor of a huge auditorium. I have many friends who had quilts made for them, some I contributed to.

I helped in creating several panels in the early years.
I remember seeing the quilt when it was in East Lansing back in the 80s. I had thought about making a panel but I had so many medical problems starting at that point I just couldn't do it. Just before it was here in East Lansing one of my best friends ended up being diagnosis with AIDS and he passed away 2 months later. RIP Larry.
