The emblem is oval in shape and has a gold border with a blue background. There are images in each section that is divided by a red 'X' shape. The images are of a white dove, green red and orange flowers, a horseshoe and 'A', and a book. There is blue text inside the gold border that reads "The United Church of Canada - L'Eglise Unie du Canada - Ut Omnes Unum Sint" with red maple leaves between the text. The back of the quilt is plain white cotton. |
