The quilt was made by Mrs. Clare Trevillian (born Coombe) in Tasmania in the 1940s. It then passed to the present owner's grandmother Easter Stevens (born Coombe) sister to Clare then to the owner's mother Patricia White (born Stevens). It is not used now.
The quilt was repaired in the 1970s with some more top stitched pieces and backed with calico and an old blanket.
