White cotton sateen wholecloth quilt with frilled border and hand-quilted motifs of a flower inside a square on point in the centre and a border containing flowers within circles with a square diamond infill. The quilt was made through a Quilt Club by miners' wives as a wedding gift in County Durham. The donor remembers that her mother always kept this quilt for best on the spare bed. Another quilt, a pink and blue strippy, also given to the donor's parents upon their marriage, and this was used on her parents' bed.
