Dogwood blossoms have appeared in American quiltmaking in several different forms, from appliquéd floral quilts to geometric pieced designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne particularly important Dogwood quilt was \u003cstrong\u003eMarie Webster’s “White Dogwood,” first published in the \u003cem\u003eLadies’ Home Journal\u003c\/em\u003e in January 1912\u003c\/strong\u003e. Webster was one of the most influential American quilt designers of the early 20th century, and her floral designs helped bring a fresh, artistic style to quiltmaking.
