Here are the rest of the blocks---Thanks to all for the input. I think that they might be 60's/70's and that not all of the fabrics are 100% cotton. Some of them feel synthetic or like blends.

The color in the 6th pic is deep reddish brown with off-white flowers/leaves.

Can you use solids in cream or tan, and a darker brown-?

It's not easy to find repro fabrics from that era & any repro quilting fabrics would be 100% cotton so they won't be a perfect match anyways. I was thinking about this some more & I would probably seam together 4 rows of 3 and then add some fun, funky borders around that. Here's a link to an online store that might work. I'd still probably do a narrow stop border in a dark brown just so the colors & sheen don't need to match so precisely, but up to you.

I think I would choose a rich brown. Just my opinion.

Sorry I couldn't be any help. |
Hmmm...looks to be from the 80's or early 90's as some of the flowered ones I've had in my stash
That I've brought in yard sales, or was given to. Hope you can find an better answer than what I gave. |

If there is one you are willing to part with, I'd do a burn test to make sure they are 100% cotton. Poly & poly-cotton blends were all the rage back then

If you are unable to find anything that pleases you, I would look for a deep rich rust brown blender. I think it would tie them together nicely.
