The Eight Point Star pattern was chosen because both it and the building date to the 1800's, and it has long remained a favorite pattern, including among quilters today. It was the first quilt square painted in Paulding County to join the Southern Quilt Trail. The city of Hiram was established in 1891 and named for its first postmaster, Hiram Baggett. The settlement had earlier been called Gray's Mill, Georgia, after early settler Garrett Gray. After the railroad came through, the little town thrived and became the area's cotton buying and shipping center.
