Accurate Quilt Patterns
One of the reasons that Mountain Mist batting wrapper patterns were so popular was because they were very accurate. If a quilter followed the cutting directions a beautiful quilt would result.
This was probably due to the work of Ruth Hays in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Ruth’s sister, Margaret Hays, was the designer hired by Frederick J. “Fritz” Hooker, Mountain Mist Sales Manager, to create new quilt patterns because he believed that “there is a constant demand for new designs.”
