In the Spokane Daily Chronicle - June 19. 1934 edition Nancy Page published this quilt pattern.

Nancy Page
Use Kings Crown for Quilt Pattern
You may remember that some time ago I gave you a pattern from Isabelle of Toronto. I have another one from her. She calls her design, appropriately enough, "The King's Crown". Either the king is four square and shows his crown on all of his four sides, or he is monarch of four countries, any one of which gives him the right to wear a crown. At any rate, we have four crowns for him in just one pieced block.
This quilt may be pieced in alternate squares of plain white the same size as the pieced block, 12 inches, or it may be set together with sashing or with no intervening pieces, just an all over quilt.
The four crowns may be made in yellow print with the center square in white. Or the crowns may be made in two shades of yellow with the point of a lighter shade.
Or the crowns which are opposite of each other in the pieced block may be alike. Choose your own way of showing your allegiance to the King, but be sure you make it a pleasing way, for there are few monarchs today as well beloved as the King of England.
The Nancy Page Quilt club members who planned to make the quilt sent for the direction leaflet with it's cutting pattern. They pasted the original in their Nancy Page Quilt Scrap Book.
In fact, Nancy Page taught all her members to paste every quilt block in the book. Under each block was written the name of the paper on which the pattern appeared. This made it easy to trace a back pattern when the desire for it occurred.
The cutting chart does not allow any seams, so be sure to allow one quarter inch on all sides. In this way the seams may be pressed open and flat when piecing is completed.
I see this as a half square triangle block. I see 4 -2.5 inch squares in light, 16 HST in 2.5 inch and 4 HST in 4.5, and carefully piecing as the HST's are turned different directions in different sides.
Below I have links to several tutorials that have this with a single large block in the center
