The collection of UK AIDS Quilts were made between 1989 and 1996 to commemorate friends, lovers and family members who passed away from an AIDS related illness during this time. These individual panels were never sewn into quilts and often refer to a single person or message. You can zoom in to some of the specific details listed below.
This bright pink panel features the Golden Gate Bridge, a plane, US Dollars, a bottle of wine with several glasses and a USA flag. Along the top is Ron Berst's name with the date 1957-1991. In a small text panel in the bottom left is stitched: 'Made for Ron by Fotios who Died April 98'
