Did a search using different engines and nothing showed up except a Drunkard's Path set in Robbing Peter to Pay Paul. My mother in law said the Broken Stove is an intricate design with the stovepipe wandering through the blocks.

One of the searches was made at
http://www.quiltstudy.org/search/index.html
Where over 1800 quilts are cataloged, with pictures. The response to my search for Broken Stove:
