I think your fabric selection is great. What about making the centers all different? I really like the yellow, red and blue prints in the centers.

thanks for that one.......I kind of thought like that too. Better like that?
And does a solid center draw all the attention or does it calm down?

I'd go with the same solid for all the plates - the yellow is fine.

Using a solid unifies the blocks
If you sash, I'd use whatever solid you used as the center.
If you have a corner stone in the sashing, I'd then use a mix of your prints

I like the yellow the best, then the red next. I don't like print for the centers, makes the plate not stand out. Beautiful plates by the way, 30's fabric is my all time favorite.

I'd give each one a different center-use all that you have shown us.

The solid yellow is the best and more traditional.
