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).

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.
