I recognize many of these from my stash, most of them from JoAnns in the 90's, I think.

They are pretty but not 30's prints...

Yes I also recognize many of those from my quilting beginnings. JoAnne Keepsake Calico circa 1990's, early 90's at that. I think that was before the 30's repros made their debut.

However, you still got a good deal and those fabs are perfectly usable. Word of warning, that navy in the top row with the little rosebuds, the one I had that matched that was a bleeder! I would invest in some retaine and prewash these to be on the safe side. Especially for any darker colors in the group, like the navy blues.
