Thank you all for your welcomes! At your suggestion I've dug deeper and agree that the first quilt is a variation of the Crown of Thorns/N.Y. Beauty/Railroad through the mountains.
The second, my gg grandmother's 'Confederate Star' was said to be an original pattern, but the 7 star clusters suggests it was early and represents the first group of seceding states, the so called '7 sisters.'
Again, thank you for your greetings and help.
