    You could do the "Farmers Wife - 1930's Sampler Quilt. Inspiring letters from farm women of the Great Depression and 99 blocks that honor them. Author Laurie Aaron Hird. Includes CD-ROM with the 99 block patterns. I am just about ready to get started on one of these. I can't wait!

    Consistantly, the 30's fabric quilts that catch my eye have a white background. Makes the colors sparkle IMHO

    There are some really nice patterns in the tutorials right now that I think would lend itself well to 1930s fabrics.

    I myself just finished a baby quilt using the square in a square quilt block (6 inch).

    Dresden plate really lends itself to 30's fabrics. The Dresden fans also work well with the 30's.

    You might also look at the latest thing - Farm Girl Vintage. It seems like every quilt shop around is doing something with that book.
