It looks like a variation of the Carpenter's Wheel. I can't really see the seams, but it looks like the maker used templates for larger whole pieces of fabric than the usual Carpenter's Wheel.
The "original" Carpenter's Wheel is made out of diamonds and squares where this one has a pentagon and triangle.

This variation - I tried to mimic the colors somewhat:

Materials look like something out of the mid 1960's - the kind of stuff I used to use to make clothing with. I'm no expert in dating material or quilts, but this should get you started.
Is it machine quilted or hand quilted? That will also help in dating the quilt.
