Help with an old quilt - ID the design/era?

Friends -
I'm a fairly recent "volunteer" who signed up for the sole purpose of learning all I can about quilting - how to sew my own quilts, the history past & present of quilts, and so on. Of course, I must also disclose that this is a hobby I've jumped into right at my own "half-century" mark - my wife surprised me with a Bernina 350PE for my 50th birthday this year!
So, that's where I'm coming from - and my question today is asking for help in identifying a quilt by its pattern, and perhaps its era/vintage/regional style or any other such "historical" details. The quilt in question is one of several I inherited from my mom's side of the family - this quilt was probably made in the area of Floyd County, Iowa. It may be work from an aunt or my grandmother.
Any ideas are welcome!
Thanks.
Adam
