History
The quilt was made by Fanny Jenkins at Daylesford, Victoria c. 1910. It is now in the collection of Annette Gero. Fanny Jenkins was a dressmaker. She made several fine crazy quilts in the 18th century as well as this utilitarian one c. 1910. "The cretonne which is the floral green fabric on the reverse and red on the front would have cost 3d a yard." [Annette Gero]
Description
