You have to look at wings as an arm first. Bats, pterodactals and birds all have their wings as part of their arms.
Although the pterodactl/Bat morphology is probably due to gliding first (Some biologists think that bats evolved from flying squirrel like things before taking on their more distinctive characteristics.)
With birds their fingers are fused together forming the point, and the feathers folding out from body and out to the finger tips getting longer and fuller.
So basically you need to few the wings as two extra limbs either connected to the shoulder blades, anterior to them (basically coming out right beneath the shoulder or as part of the spine. Or both.
You should treat them like extra arms, essentially.
But I would use the standard Pegasus as a reference for any wings on a quadruped..
Another option would be to look at dragons and how the extra limbs attach to them.
