Phoebe's Favorite Dogtooth Applique #5:
Tobacco Leaf by Becky Brown

Southerners had favorite patterns and this dogtooth appliqued pineapple or tobacco leaf was quite popular in the late 19th and early 20th century, usually done in solid colors.

Found in the Arizona project.

Betty Meek McKenzie's family called this Tobacco
Leaf when they showed her quilt to the Louisiana project.

It's based on one of the oldest American designs going
back to the early 19th century: The Reel or Oak Leaf design...

...with many added pointy edges.





Two pattern sheets for the Dogtooth technique

And two for the template method.



A catalog from years ago.

A post on the pattern:
