History
The quilt was made by Mrs Eunice Strawbridge's mother, who was a dressmaker in England early last century. It was made using remnants of silks and velvets left over from her dressmaking. It is now owned by the National Trust of Australia SA and is displayed in the parlour of the Hope Cottage Museum at Kingscote on Kangaroo Island SA.
