Black was used in the 30's. There were lots of blacks with yellow, red or other colored objects.

Here's a good source for some 30's fabrics. They are about 3.95 a yard and from main manufacturers.

Jagsd: love your blocks--I can't believe how nice they look in those prints. I agree that Batwing seems to jump out and would try to use that color elsewhere. This has helped me so much to see them all together and get feedback from everyone ( I also have one that jumps out and didn't realize it). I can't wait to see the next 25.

Jagsd, your blocks are amazing! I can't imagine doing these in 3" and greatly admire your perseverance. They're beautiful. My only thought on the black Batwing is that if you remove it, the one next to it with red may pop out from all the rest. But considering that there are still so many blocks to go, I'm sure the colors will balance out in the end. No worries. ;)

You may want to check Connecting Threads for solids. I believe they have some to coordinate with their Canning Day '30s line and it's hard to beat their prices - $3.96/yd. for solids I believe.

Everyone's blocks are awesome. Everyone is making such beautiful blocks. So, it looks like I will be joining all of you for I just ordered the FWS book from Keepsake quilting.

Pookiw Ookiee & Quilting Nonnie: Thank you for the links, I found some solids and ordered a few more prints. I really was not sure of the colors when I started this. I think I will try to use the fabric in the Bat Wing a couple more times thru out my quilt and see what happens.
janRN: Thank you, I think for now I will leave the Bat wing and use the colors in it a couple more times and then see how it looks, it's amazing how taking a picture and really seeing wht you have looks like.
When I get my solids I will see which one works best for the sashing.
Thanks again All! I really appreciate it.

Jagsd, I'm also doing 30's and have some dark blue and black background prints. They'll stick out for a while. No worries in the end. I used a dark fabric on my batwing, too. It must be asking for it.
