I've always liked Darlene Zimmerman's patterns for 30's prints. She has two free ones on her site:

There are some very nice patterns in Fons & Porter's book 'Easy Quilts'. Maybe they'd have that at your library?
The easiest pattern I ever made was called 'Cheaper by the Dozen'. The version I made used 12 fat quarters, but it could doubtless be made larger. I hope things are soon looking up for you!

Annie of ByAnnie has a free pattern called Wickedly Easy Quilt, and it is. It is written for FQs, and you end up with 16" square blocks. So if you make a baby quilt with 6 FQs, you get 6 blocks to sew together.

Quick & Easy 30s FQ ideas
Hi everyone,
I haven't been able to sew much lately, and haven't really had much desire due to life's stress, but I miss it. I have a fat quarter bundle of 30s fabric and I'd like some ideas for a quick and easy quilt. I don't have a lot of time (or patience) for anything tricky right now, and I also don't have the time to look through books and magazines for ideas. I guess I sound a little lazy, and maybe I really am, but if anyone can give me some ideas, I'd appreciate it.
i suppose I'm trying to get out of a funk and could use a little help. Thanks in advance!

When I think of 30s fabric, I think old patterns. My favorite I've done is a nine patch block mixed with a snowball block. Pictures are in here.

That thread has several patterns that would work for you.

{{{wink, wink}}} sometimes by the time I finish my squares, my funky mood is gone and I'm ready to pick up where I left off.
Good luck. I hope you'll be back to your old self quickly.
