As for the flowers, I like my flowers to look a little more like the 'real deal' - think this would be very pretty in a Moda marble or a very pale batik where you get some color vatiation...jmho |
It is definately Dogwood...I recently purchased a dogwood pattern at The Cherry Pit Quilt Shop in Seiverville, TN recently. Different pattern than the quilt you saw, but it too is appliqued. Love anything Dogwood!!!

I found that exact quilt with the white and pink on the flowers in one of my books, Leisure Arts Encyclopedia of Classic Quilt Patterns, page 78. There's a photo of the quilt stating it's a vintage quilt from the The Antique Quilt Source in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. (and yes, it's a Dogwood).

The quilt is called "Dogwood" and is 'Applique # 12' in the Volume 2 binder of Oxmoor House Best Loved Quilt Patterns binder.
I tried to show you a pic, but it just sits there...Ah, there it is! :) |

A dogwood it is, but I don't think they ever come is two colors. The only ones we have on our property are all pink or all white.

Yes it is in the book Encyclopedia of quilt blocks, forget the name of the pattern, I will pm you later with the name I have that book

Thank you, Bebe, for this topic. I have been looking for the origin of this quilt pattern so I could put a label on the quilt my grandmother made for me 30 years ago. I can't believe that in all of the internet searches I have done that I didn't find it, but it is this exact design.
My quilt is now old and faded from much use because I always felt like I had my grandmother near when I was wrapped in it. I just love it. |
