The comforter contains 137 names. It was made of purple and gold rectangles and they were joined in the “brick” fashion. It is backed and bound in purple cotton. The gold rectangles are satin. The embroidery of the names is done with yellow thread on the purple blocks and purple thread on the yellow blocks. It is tied with yellow yarn at the points where the blocks intersect.
