I am referring to the pink and white quilt that kinda looks like a whole cloth. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-126239-1.htm ....Thanks for your help!!!!!! Bebe the flower loooks just like a dogwood tree bloom. In real life, I have seen white and pink blooms on trees, but never mixed like that. I think the dogwood tree is one of the most beautiful trees in bloom I have ever seen. I love the magnolia tree in bloom, but in my opinion it can't compare with the dogwood. I read the legend of the dogwood tree years ago that stated that cross that Christ was crucified on was made of a dog wood tree, and as a result the dogwood tree would never ever be large enough again to make a cross from. I don't know if that is correct or not, as I have never been able to find this in the Bible. Most likely just a story someone told because of the shape of the petals etc. But it is still my favorite tree. |

You were in the right place at the right time for a wonderful bargain! And your quilt is perfect. Do you remember what the brand name was on your kit (i.e., what company put it out)? I can't seem to find that out from the ebay ads that I've seen. |

It is the dog wood flower/tree.
God bless |

I've learned a lot about quilting since then, but still don't pay much attention to company names, or brand names. |
I would say it is a dogwood.

Thanks for the reply, Grandma Janice. I wish I had thought to ask my grandmother more about it before she passed away (at 98 yrs old!), but I didn't know enough then to ask. And like you said, I've learned so much more about quilts and quilting since then.
