Hi everyone, I went back and looked through my older books again and did find a feathered star quilt/no pattern. I guess it would be a feathered star "variation" as the points seem much more delicate than the photo I found. It is not signed and dated unfortunately but I do know the history as it was told to me so that info will be kept with the quilt for future generations.
...I was lucky to receive a number of fine quilts from my MIL - she had no interest in sewing/quilting and passed them on to us to use on our beds when we were first married, she was happy to get rid of them and I think they may have gone in the garbage if I hadn't taken them.
