Searching on "Roy Bailey"+aids+quilt brings the following page:

http://mysongbook.de/msb/songs/n/names.html

which says the song "Names" was written by Cathy Fink. And...

"[1991:] Written for the Names Quilt, a memorial to victims of AIDS. The
project began in San Francisco. It has rapidly become a major work of
folk art that is a moving memorial to and celebration of, the lives of
those who have died. Each name is on a patch six feet by three feet.
There are now 13,000 pieces in the quilt. In July 1989 I was invited to
sing this song at the opening of an exhibition of part of the quilt at
the Vancouver Art Gallery. It was a privilege to be invited and it was
the most moving event I have ever been involved with. (Notes Roy
Bailey, 'Never Leave A Story Unsung')"
