Maggie Malone’s book (p 350) has the block (a hexagon block) listed as Little Girls’ Star, Pennsylvania Hex, Star Bouquet Quilt, and Morning Star.

A search of the MSU Quilt Index using ‘hexagon star’ as the search criteria resulted in 249 quilts of several names.

One of the closest to the one pictured above is this one, titled Rolling Star using the Morning Star quilt pattern. It, too, has every other star point as a solid and a white hexagon.

The Quilt Index is a great resource for info on vintage quilts…well worth bookmarking if you’re interested in that sort of stuff.
