Help identifying antique pattern
 
I have been organizing my Mom's house and came across an old antique quilt she purchased 30 years ago from a resale shop. She has no information on it at all and I thought it would be nice to figure out the block name and possible the era. I have been searching star pattern variations and can not find anything close to the pattern anywhere. Looking for help to see if it has a name or if this is a unique pattern. It is hand pieced and quilted. Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
Sorry for the link, but I could not get the image or link to work.

The pattern is known as nosegay or bride’s (or bridal) bouquet. Here is some information from Barbara Blackman: https://encyclopediaquiltpatterns.bl...r-nosegay.html

I would guess that some of the blocks in your Mom’s quilt were pieced in the 30’s or 40’s, but some were likely made much later.

I have also seen this pattern called "Cornucopia". There is a picture on Worth Point - it was dated 1930s - https://www.worthpoint.com/worthoped...30s-1863586227

Very pretty and a true treasure!
