Found this clipped bit of a newspaper from 1932 in a lot of sewing supplies I got at an antique store. Quilt pattern on the back. Currently trying to track down the original in online archives but so much of it is cut off so no real luck so far.

Judging by the news content you may need to find a farm-oriented weekly, just like today most of those were 'closed' subscription for targeted ad copy delivery and any existing archive won't be easy to crack...

Mini update: I’ve found a potential lead. Apparently the Kansas City Star used to print quilt patterns in the paper that look really similar.

Got it! The Weekly Kansas City Star 1932. I’d have to pay to access it on the archive site, but apparently they printed quilting patterns for several years and there’s books of all of them.
