A quilt was a bed covering consisting of two layers of fabric stitched together, with insulation in between, which often had a decorative design.
On worlds spread throughout the Milky Way Galaxy, there were cultures who practiced the tradition of weaving stories into tapestries and quilts. Each piece might be a remembrance of a special place or of a moment or person that was really loved.
In 3188, Adira read of this tradition and choose to hand make a quilt for her partner Gray Tal. She wanted him to have something to mark the special occasion of his joining with a symbiont. This gift told the story of their relationship. After being fatally injured by their ship colliding with an asteroid, Adira covered Gray's body with the quilt, so as to keep him warm as he succumbed to his injuries. (DIS: "Forget Me Not")
