The Covid Quilt

This Wall Hanging was made by the Law Quilters during the Covid lockdown of 2020 and 2021. The Law Quilters group was founded in 1988 with 10 talented and enthusiastic members and now has 40 members. Many of the group were involved in making parts of the quilt, all working on their own.
