I was guessing the opposite from cashs mom: that it was made using a kit. A number of kits were available during that time, many with appliqué and many with the scalloped edge that the OP remembers. The problem is that there may be no record of many of those kits. When scholars started looking at quilt designs, kits were seen as ubiquitous and put down as not requiring creativity. As a result, many were not chronicled as part of any of the projects to record existing quilts and patterns.
OP may be lucky enough to stumble on to what she is looking for, but more likely will need to create her own pleasing design that she can say is inspired by her ancestor’s quilt.

I found this one in the Quilt Index at Henry Ford Museum.
Good luck!

berrynice, you are a creative person. Make your own pattern from your memories. I know you can do it. Your great-great grandmother will be looking down on you and be so proud of you. I have faith in you. Go for it girl. Show us a picture when you finish.

The first link is to a vintage 19030’s quilt. The second is to a quilt made in the last decade designed by Cori Blunt of Chitter Chatter Designs which does not appear to still be in business. The third is for a vintage quilt sold on eBay. The fourth is for a book with a pattern.

This one doesn't have scalloped borders but the rest fits your description.
