These were made in Hawick in the 1920's as church fundraisers, the church having burnt down, I can send you a copy of the Quilt Studies article if you want a copy. I have a green one - it cost me over £200. So you should take good care of that quilt, there aren't that many around, its not just an ordinary Durham quilt!!

The pattern is quite unusual isn't it?<br />I have one that looks like a long third of a quilt that I spotted in the back of our removal van when we moved back from Co Durham to Cumbria. They were using it to protect mirrors in transit! I keep meaning to trace the quilting pattern from it.Rosalindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11459543490837806251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1794005456302607452.post-84236639948147867102011-04-27T01:35:19.601+01:002011-04-27T01:35:19.601+01:00What ever you call it, the first word has to be WO...What ever you call it, the first word has to be WONDERFUL!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13102684933543382923noreply@blogger.com
