I've been collecting 30s fabrics for a variation of grandmothers flower garden like my mil made for us as a wedding gift.

The picture is of the similar one she made for my sister in law a bit later.

I too have a stash of 30's repro fabric and was looking for a pattern. I came across this example recentlyhttp://milliesquilting.blogspot.com/...tch-quilt.html. Here is a tutorial for the block.

I'm working on a great granny square quilt using repro fabrics. It's turning out well.

From allpeoplequilt.com is a half hexie pattern in reproduction fabric called Big on Tradition. It's actually two half hexes together to look like a whole hexie....easy!! Or an applique pattern found in Quilt-it..today magazine called Rosey Posey. This last one is one I saved from the magazine in a binder. Or from American Patchwork & Quilting the very easy Now and Later brick quilt.....so many to choose from. Good luck

I have 2 quilts with 30's repro fabrics. One is a Double Irish Chain, the other is a 9 patch variation. The 9 patch variation has 10 blocks based on the 9 patch block, there are stars, churn dash, shoo fly, 9 patch and others, the background fabric is a white on white. I really enjoyed making it, there is a queen size and a twin size that belongs to my DH's aunt. She is a quilter, but has macular degeneration, she was thrilled to have a quilt. Sharon in Texas

If you want one with a variety of blocks, try Ode to the Thirties by Lori Smith. It's lovely with thirty-ish fabrics.
I posted one here 12-17-2011 that I quilted for someone. I LOVED it!

First link is the one I quilted, second link is to the pattern.

I like Great Granny Squared by Lori Holt of Bee in My Bonnet. I will be doing this one this year in 30s repro fabric.

I just started Among the Stars by It's Sew Emma which is available at the Fat Quarter Shop using 1930's repo fabrics, and I love it. I'm not home right now, so I don't have a photo to include.
