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.

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.
