This image conveys the power of quilting as mode of activism and memorialization. Allowing for juxtaposition and collage of various materials and perspectives over time, quiliting is a particularly affective medium, evoking senses of domesticity and comfort while also conveying political message, this image is particularly striking in its parallels to the 1980s AIDS quilt. 

I wonder what would be accomplished if the contributor could replicate the patchwork/collage motif into the image itself. Part of what feels so compelling about the quilt is the way the quilter was able to tell a story through the quilt squares.
