I've been looking thru my historical reference books and have found some sketches that look like your photo.The quilt is actually not a plate but a spiral or circle block.
the Baltimore Museum is the source of a Pinwheel quilt that is a match for your photo.
Another is Feathered Star - source is OCS/Wheeler
Other names could include Rising Sun (LAC #177), Wagon wheel (Hearth and Home), Flywheel (Grancmother Clark Book 20. 1931). Circle Saw (KC Star), Wheel of Life (Home Art), Oklahoma Star (Lithgow)
The source in ( ) is actually where the pattern was first documented.
I'll see if I can find a website link for you.
