I love quilts such as Hommingbird, Country Stars (from McCalls Quilting March/April 2010 issue and Pop It Beads from April-May McCalls Quilting Magazine, all easy and done in @0's repros are so darling.

All of the suggestions so far are wonderful -- I have another.

If you can find an old Ruby Short McKim book, there are a lot of old block patterns in there that would make a great quilt with the 30's. I have made some lovely blocks with the 30's fabrics even though they are not my favorites.

Can't help you. 30's are not my thing, I don't even have any of them in my huge stash. I have seen some cute quilts made with them, they're just not my style.

I think a Sun Bonnet Sue done with the 30's material would be so cute.

I've made two Vintage Moments quilt in the 30's prints. They are beautiful quilts. Good idea.

I have used a D4P (disappearing 4 patch) with reproduction 30's fabrics, and have liked it a lot! Here is one of the quilts tops made with this pattern (but not yet finished)--hope you like it! It goes quickly and can use quite a few fabrics in one quilt. :-D
