Just to add some history on the Auckland quilters. In 1990 when Auckland hosted the Commonwealth Games, they followed the tradition of making a quilt and gifting it to the next city to host the Commonwealth Games, which was Victoria in 1994. That quilt was brought up in 1990 and gifted to the then Mayor Gretchen Brewin. According to legend it hangs somewhere in City Hall.
