Unfinished cotton hexagons top, arranged in Grandmother's Flowers Garden pattern, with a border of Turkey Red and White rosettes. Begun by the Tuckley family, (the grandmother of the donor), and continued by the Whitehouse family, residents of Coleshill, Warwickshire. The papers are still in and the cottons cover a period from the second quarter of the 19th century to the early 20th century. One used a card template made from a 'Wild Woodbine' Cigarette packet.
