The quilt was completed by members of the Catholic Clothing Guild & Catholic Women's League throughout the Brentwood Diocese. Groups where given a square of calico together with felt depicting a sport, which was sawn to the calico, twenty five squares in total.

One hundred and twenty seven members took part in the sewing, their names are recorded at the bottom of the quilt.
