A Book From a Long Time Ago....

Hi all,
This may be a really silly thing to ask, but thought it would be worth a shot......
There was a book I read, in my school library, from when I was about 12 years old (I'm 24 now). It had a massive impact on me, and I loved every minute of reading it ... BUT ... I have long since forgotten what the title is ! I have tried amazon, googling parts of the story, but the trouble is, I have forgotten bits etc in the time that has passed. I was wondering if I could put it out here and see if anyone has read it / heard of it !
From what I can remember ....
A family moves into an old house. It is creepy and foreboding, with a lot of history connected to it. A girl finds a quilt in one of the bedrooms. She sleeps under it, and has visions/dreams of a girl who previously slept under the quilt, many years ago. She eventually finds that inside the quilt is a diary of the young girl; she ripped out all the pages and hid it inside the quilt so no one could find it, making the quilt have this crinkly sound when anyone slept under it. And there was a murder somewhere along the line as well I think?
Now, I thought the title was 'The Patchwork Quilt' but haven't had much joy with that title .....
Anyone have any memories of this book ? Or is it just me .....
