The AIDS Memorial Quilt celebrates the lives of real people who were loved and lost to HIV/AIDS. They are each remembered on a stretch of fabric called a panel. Here is a closer look at one of the 47,000 panels that comprise the ever-growing AIDS Memorial Quilt. (This panel is also featured in our 2009 calendar, available here.
"When Ari left us, I knew I wanted to create a panel in his honor and I asked his friends and loved ones to contribute an article of clothing or a piece of fabric. I made the panel with pieces from all these people who were a part of his life. Here's to you Ari, from all of us!" - Tom Warrick, Palm Springs - Oct 28, 2007
