Exciting, dynamic little serpentine curvy 'paths' actually look like the local name given to the design. Pieced of the same element as the Double Wedding Ring pattern (small curved sections) but they are rotated and aligned to create the sinuous echoing rows traversing the quilt surface. Feedsacks from the 1930s and muslin. Age discoloration at edges in photo is no longer there as it has professionally laundered. This charming pattern has been mythologized in southern folk lore as giving the sleeper protection from evil spirits during the night!
