This double-sided Crazy quilt was made out of off-cuts of woollen suiting materials and flannels woven in Beulah Mill. The embroidery is plain and only used to outline each of the patches, not to add supplementary imagery or decoration. The quilt was given as a wedding present by the mill owner to the grandmother of the donor.
