Phoebe's Favorite Dogtooth #6: Princess Feather by Becky Brown
Princess Feather patterns in a variety of interpretations were popular with 19th-century quiltmakers. One could use a template as Anna McKindly probably did for her quilt below.

Or stitch all those points using a Dogtooth technique...
as seems to be the case in this one.
And this one.
The inspiration below is from the inventory of the late Laura Fisher who loved a graphic quilt.

Below are three pattern sheets, two for the Dogtooth applique;
one for the template technique.
