I have an applique pattern of a balloon bouquet that I plan to do some day in 30's fabrics.

Anything and everything. It has such a soft color way. The quilts turn out looking terrific.

Those are two gorgeous quilts, ladies.

I love the 30s fabric (perhaps because I was born in the 30s). I presently have a Grandmother's Flower Garden (GFG) quilt and Double Wedding Ring quilt (WIP) using 30s fabric. What I especially like about it, if you do not know exactly how much fabric is needed for a particular quilt, you can just go out and by more, even though you may have to add additional prints. They all look good together. When I started the GFG, I had no idea how many flowers it would take to make the quilt, since I had not settled on the size; same with the double wedding ring.

Loved the samples shown here.

Here was my 1930's reproduction fabric quilt in progress.

I've made three Vintage moments quilts, one each for my three girls. I did 2 in 30's repro's and one in batiks. All of them turned out great. It's a great pattern.
