A ? & show and tell
 

I have a ?. Need to know what web sight, or patterns that some of the members have made with 30's repro fabric. And maybe a book or 2 of 30's pattern. For the show & tell, I gave a women 3-4 yrs ago some 30s repro fabric. I seen this lady at the quilt show, and she ask me if I still quilt. I said yes, I do. She told me to come and get the fabric back, cause she just cant do the sewing anymore. Health issues. Here is a picture of the fabric she gave back to me. Don-isewman[ATTACH=CONFIG]515274[/ATTACH]

There are just so many patterns flashing thru my mind. The obvious one is the Grandmother Flower Garden. Take a look at these patterns and see if anything tempts you. Just have FUN!!

Here are a few ideas

I am working on two quilts using 30's reproduction fabric - a churn dash and grandmother's flower garden.:)

You will certainly have fun with that!

You have the mother lode.......

Oh wow, good going. You should have fun with all that fabric. I have a friend on this forum who's shared lots and lots of fat qtrs with me! Sharing is always a good thing.

I see some gorgeous quilts in your future!!

Your quilts are just beautiful!! All of them!

What a great assortment of 30's reproduction fabrics. I hope to see your pattern selection in quilt version soon.

wonderful, such nice fabrics, the repos. your rulers are so neat, mine are a mess piled up.

Oh WOW Don.....my heart went pitty pat when i saw that stack of fabric.....you were very generous to begin with to give so much fabric away. You've shared so many of your great quilts --- and i know that there is a 30s beauty coming to the Pictures section soon. I think several of your star quilt patterns would look good in 30s fabric.

Wowser! What a stash! How about traditional 9 patch or churn dash or four patch or log cabin? Google patterns for 30's reproduction patterns and see what you find. I wouldn't do Grandmother's flower garden because I am too impatient to be precise enough, but you might love it. Good luck whatever you decide! froggyintexas

Some of these ladies would look pretty in those fabrics. http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...ml#post5911784

What a windfall. Good Luck. With your talent, you will come up with something.

WOW. You were very generous giving her all that fabric, and I think it was nice of her to return the favor, letting you use the fabric in her stead. I can see lots of scrappy quilts, baby quilts, etc., etc. the possibilities are endless. For some reason a Double Wedding Ring quilt just popped into my head, but the fabrics look beautiful.

I just saw a scrappy 9 patch Irish chain that was beautiful. I think the 9P blocks were made up of 2.5" squares and the background was scrappy tone on tones in whites and beiges.

Here is one top I just finished. It is called Common Sense.[ATTACH=CONFIG]515599[/ATTACH]

Anything with stars would be great.

There is a book by Elenor Burns called Egg Money Quilts which is for 30's repo fabrics.

1screech your quilt is beautiful!

Dresden blocks always look good in repro fabrics.

1screech --- another admirer of your quilt. Fantastic!
