Physical Description
A fine white twill-weave cotton quilt covered in an allover pattern of embroidered red signatures radiating out in diamond shapes from a large central appliquéd red cross. There is a plain border around the quilt in the same fabric. There is an allover grid of squares with circles at each intersection, all stitched in red thread. Each square is about 17cm x 18cm and they all contain a diamond shape created by four or eight (in each corner) signatures. Signatures are also worked in each circle. A list of signatures also fills the four corners created by the cross in the centre. Stitched text heads each list of names in the corners of the central cross: ' Greenhill Rd?Tusmore S Aust', 'Members of the Council? 1942', 'With Best Wishes to Brt? Boys? 1942' and 'Members of the Staff 1942'.
