I am making one now with 30's repro. I picked Sun Bonnet Sue (since she is from the 30's) and Single Irish Chain (also from the 30's). Here's a rough sketch of what it looks like (colors are not accurate -- I'm using wedgewood blue, muted rose, golden yellow & muted sage -- both in the applique and in the chain in random order).
Oh, and half of the appliques are of Overall Sam on my actual quilt.

It is a combination of 3 different quilts that I loved.
