I don't know what fabric you are using from that line. I have found that some of the Moda Bella solids are good matches.

If you type "1930's" plus the color you want & either Kona or Moda, you will find a bunch of choices. The other option is to work with a LQS that specializes in repro fabrics, like Pieceful Gathering in Fox River Grove, IL (yes, they will provide help over the phone & ship throughout the US).

Green is always the most traditional option for the 30's, but there are many beautiful choices. I had a blue that I used as well in my 30's quilt that was kind of this periwinkle color. I'm trying to look up exactly what the color name/number was for it. I bought all of them through Pieceful Gathering. They were not my background color -- I did a scrappy Irish Chain & left the background Kona Snow because I wanted the colors to stand out, but doing a background in something other than green or cream sounds really intriguing! I can't wait to see pictures of it!!!
