It's definitely an Oklahoma Dogwood quilt, and a very beautiful example at that!

Success. Thanks to a new-to-me FB page called Quilts- Vintage and Antique, I found some very knowledgable folks. They helped me find the answer so I looked it up in my Quilter's Album of Patchwork Patterns by Jinny Beyer. Voila! So I am going with Dogwood Blossom. My Grandma lived in Nebraska so I am betting she found this in Capper's Weekly. Here is a compilation of the answers I received thanks to some very nice people!
"It's No. 2223 in B.Brackman, Dogwood Blossom. References recorded for this design were published in various Arthur Capper papers, 1922-1932, then Kansas City Star in 1934, all with the same name. Mrs. Danner called it Suspension Bridge in 1934, and Mountain Mist had a similar pattern some 23 years later called Oklahoma Dogwood." |
That is a stunning quilt and you are very blessed to have such an heirloom!

I don't know either but it is beautiful . I've never heard of Indiana dogwood. I would also like to see the one that is underneath.

I finally squinted at the blue and white quilt and now I can see how it might be considered a dogwood. Too many sawteeth in it for me!

Have you checked Mountain Mist on line. I remember seeing a listing of thier old patterns available, I think it was on line. ???
|
Absolutely beautiful quilt! I'm glad you found the pattern! Thanks for sharing! Do you plan to make it in two colors, or are you going to expand on the palette? It would be tempting!
|
I order a pattern years ago I think they sent me a list of their patterns I will attempt to find the list today.
|
I am so glad I looked at this thread. I love this pattern but I am going to call mine an Oklahoma Dogwood.
|
I don't know, but it sure is pretty!
