This striped quilt was made for the marriage of Elizabeth Morris of Pantyseir Fawr Farm, Glynarthen, South Cardiganshire and Thomas Evans, Trefaesfawr Farm. Beulah, South Cardiganshire. The wedding took place at Glynarthen Chapel on Tuesday 19 September 1893. The quilt is probably one of a pair of quilts made using wool from Elizabeth's home of Pantyseiri Fawr, Glynarthen for her bottom drawer. At the time wool would have been worth about one shilling per pound. A translated diary entry notes that she and her brother, Thomas, the farmer, went to Llangranog Factory on 14 October taking 15 and a half lbs of wool for a pair of quilts and 9 and a quarter lbs of wool for Kersey Cloths to be dyed blue in Llanarth.

Celebration has always been important for Humanity. As early as the Stone Age we can view inscriptions on cave walls showing people dancing and engaged in festivities. Celebrations can act as a reward, making people feel it was all worthwhile and motivating them to continue. Celebrations can denote successful closure of an activity or depict gratitude. Celebrations often mark transitions. It acts as closure of the past and initiation for the future, marking life transitions, such as marriage. 

Although quilting is often associated with warmth and protection, with the earliest quilts made by necessity as a means of keeping snug in a blustery cottage through a bitter winter. Some quilts were made to mark specific life occasions to celebrate a birth, or commemorate a death or like this red and green striped quilt as preparation for a wedding.
