History
It is not known who made the quilt. It was in the present owner's holiday cottage in the Royal National Park, NSW when they purchased it in 1954."The cottage it was used in is part of a cabin group of "depression architecture" holiday cabins in the Royal National Park, which have been classified by the National Trust and entered on the Register of the National Estate. Many of these cabins date back to the 1920s and 1930s, so it is likely there would be other such quilts, as many of the cabins are still in original family ownership."
