Just google - Paper folding for 5-pointed star.

Oh my goodness! I found it listed as Mountain Pink (if you google you can find pictures) in my book of Carrie Hall blocks.

A top is "only as old as it's newest fabrics", at first glance I'd date yours as pre-1950, maybe made in the 40s with fabrics from earlier.
Edit: Further looking brought me to Nancy Cabot, one of the quilt newspaper ladies, also with the same name (Mountain Pink). My first book was Ruby McKim, another one of the newspaper ladies. Haven't checked there yet because I didn't ring my Ruby bell.

I don't know the name of the pattern either but it resembles something like a tulip pattern. It is a very unique block and maybe your grandmother just made up her own pattern which is what my grandmother did a lot of times. Good luck on your search and I am sure someone will come up with a name of the pattern for you.
