Durham Quilt

Durham Quilt - This quilt has lovely stitching and has an unusual tale - it was found in a drawer by a furniture dealer and used as a drop cloth, becoming an allover brown color! A local person saw it and bought it at the local market - luckily it washed out and became white again. My son put some wet ski gloves on it - another washing ensued but it really is a sturdy quilt. Design - running feathers with a central circular design.
