Although strictly speaking not a quilt, my memories were of down comforters my beloved Grandmother had. Being from "the old country"(the Ukraine) she gathered the goose down herself from the geese she raised to make them. They were marvelous....warm as toast, had a unique sound to them and yet really light as a feather. Seeing as there was no central heat in the house, they were a necessity. The only heat came from the kitchen stove...wonderful memories
