History
The quilt was made in the 1930s by Mrs Agata Vecchio (born Lo Monaco) in Linguaglossa Sicily. It is still owned by Mrs Agata Vecchio. It is not used at the present time as the winters in North Queensland are not cold enough. This is a traditional quilt that young Sicilian brides made for their 'Glory Boxes'. It was considered to be part of their dowry.
Description
