I like the activity your block creates with the print on fabric, it is reminisient of some interesting l930-40 blocks but next time think about the size and scale of the print when combining fabrics that are strong visually. There are so many choices and some combinations work better than others. Moosegirl
I am going to eliminate one of the prints and use white instead. I was just trying to use fabrics on hand, it was worth a try.
I think these fabrics are from the 30's - 40's, not sure how old. Grandmothers and greatgms never threw anything away, so we have no idea how old some of the fabric in her closet is. But they sure are great.
