The triptych consists of The Apparition of Mary, The Wisdom Quilt, The Resurrection
The Quilt of Belonging is another larger-than-life quilt of epic proportions. It measures 120 foot long by 10.5 foot high (36 metres by 3.5 metres) and contains 263 blocks representing all the First Peoples in Canada and every nation of the world. This photo is from the Quilt of Belonging web site. (No photos were allowed at the show.)
Each of those white squares is a quilt block which represents a country or tribe of the maker's origin.
I purchased the book which provides information about each block and the person who made it. You can also view the individual blocks in the gallery on the site.
In her remarks at the Bernina Fashion Show, Karey Bresnahan said this was the most expensive exhibit they have ever brought to the Festival. It was truly awe-inspiring.
