Colourful signature quilt commemorating the 145th anniversary of the Mandaumin United Church and the new Millennium. The quilt features a diamond pattern consisting of thirty one square blocks framed by eight triangles and a tri-colour border.

Around the center of the block, there are a series of small square pieces of fabric in shades of blue, purple and gold which create a geometric pattern. The triangles around the outer edge feature additional signatures. The top of the quilt reads "Mandaumin United Church. 145th Anniversary. June 2000", embroidered using blue thread. There is a narrow floral border followed by a wide maroon band adorned with a series of signatures on the right and left hand side embroidered using blue thread.
