This quilt was made by Anna Hunger. It is thought to have been at least partially constructed in the 1830s, before Hunger emigrated to New Zealand, as many of the fabrics in the upper have been dated to this period. However the backing materials, which include offcuts of New Zealand products, show that it was at least partially constructed in New Zealand as well. The Hunger family, were prominent settlers in south Taranaki. It appears to have been used as an underblanket between a wire wove and a mattress for many years, judging by the rust marks on the underside. It was purchased by Colleen Hareb from an estate sale in 1987, and donated to Puke Ariki in 2012.
