Two Unquilted Table Topper Tops... 30's Repo Fabrics
 

I was trying out this pinwheel I found on the Quilter's Cache site. It fit the bill for a vintage-looking pattern for some of my 30's reproduction feedsack fabrics I've been dying to use. I made the tops for two little table toppers (25" square). I tried one with a mixture of colors on each pinwheel (with the yellow sashing), and one with monochromatic pinwheels (with the red sashing). Which do you like better?

They are both fantastic.

I love both! Maybe you could treat the four blocks as one and incorporate both sashing colors into one quilt.... make sense? So the first row would be red, yellow, red, the second row would be yellow, red, yellow.. and so on. I would hate to have to choose! But those are beautiful!

Those are very pretty and I think they are both equally pretty.

Both are great. I tend to lean towards the second one. But I like both.

That's a cool idea for a quilt... I'll have to remember that. But these are done, just small table toppers.

I love the fabric. Both toppers are pretty, but I favor the first one. I love "scrappy".

I like both toppers. Great job!!

I love these! I didn't like 30's fabrics at first....but now I adore them! Great blocks too! Love, love, love!

I like the mixed color the better of the two.

Great idea! If you want to give similar quilts just differentiate the sashings!

Simply beautiful!

I would try to put all of it together for a quilt if you have enough. You have the yellow in one group and red in the other. They are gorgeous. I just love them both. They blend with each other. It would be unique together.

they suit the fabric nice

I like both but leaning towards the yellow sashing a little more.

I like both, but think the red looks the more vintage... maybe thats because of my grandmother liking red... this is 1 pattern I have on my list, so I am taking a longer look than most... maybe.

I love both, and you gave me a great idea a person could make 4 or more of those and make a great quilt.

Love them both. Would be tempted to raid my stash further and make an entire quilt. The yellow is more subtle while the red makes a statement.

I love pretty much anything made in that style with those fabrics. I'd be hard pressed to choose. I think my vote would go to the red sashing just because I like the sashing color better. Either one could happily life in my house with all of my other fake 1930's quilts.

I like them both but favor the red sashing. If one were to see them in person they might appear differently to the eye. They are both great. Good job!

Love them both but the red sashing shows up very well. Love, love, love repo 30's. I have made 4 quilts using the repo 30's fabric. Would love to share pics but I don't know how to put pics on the QB. What is the pattern name from Quilters Cache did you use?

Both are very pretty. OK here is a dumb question. How does one tell that it is a 30's fabric? I have quite a few fabrics in my stash that look like the prints you have used. I have heard people talk about 30's, 40's, etc fabric. They all just look pretty to me. BrendaK

Both are great! Personally, I prefer the monochromatic blocks~~

Both are beautiful!!!!!
