Eight Pie-shaped Pieces
From an online auction
An unpublished pattern, popular in the South in the first half of the 20th century.
Attributed to Eula Phillips of Alabama, found by the North Carolina Project
and the Quilt Index. The name for this one was String Pie.
Must have been passed around in the 1900-1925 years when these blues and grays were the look.
