I have two old quilts made by my grandmother (who died before I was born). They are both simple wholecloth Durham quilts, made in County Durham in the UK where she and my mother and aunts lived. One is green – pale on one side and medium on the other, and one is pale yellow on one side and darker on the other. They are the only thing I have of my grandmother’s – I think her other things probably went to my mother’s sisters, and Mum died nearly five years ago so I can’t ask her now that I’m interested!
