AIDS Memorial Quilt
The ATF is the home of the only West Virginia Chapter of the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt.
Blocks of the Quilt, measuring 12ft x 12ft are available for display at churches, schools and for private groups. The NAMES Project Foundation, Upper Ohio Valley Chapter is a project of the ATF. A typical block consists of eight individual three foot by six foot panels sewn together. Virtually every 3 ft x 6ft panel of the Quilt memorializes the life of a person who has died from AIDS. There are over 44,000 panels on the Quilt.
Many blocks of the Quilt have been created to memorialize Upper Ohio Valley residents.
