Large quilt with a red and white checker pattern on front, plain on back. On each square are lists of names embroidered in cursive writing. The writing is in red thread on the white squares, and white thread on red squares. The quilting is stitched in horizontal lines across the piece, with the corner of each square done in diagonal lines thereby creating diamond patterns linking four squares.
