I'm not a native English speaker, so my words aren't worth a lot, I think. But I have gone thru the same phase last year and this is what I decided: I use From - Thru. There's also a thread here about this: Thread #1293202

But I'd write in your cases:
New Customer record added between D1 and D2
Last quote was created between D1and D2

Update: Hmmm, after reading that thread I notice that I should make work of using From-Through in new apps.
