Default Reproduction fab pattern..need suggestions

Going thru my stash found a package of reproduction fabric. Forgot that I had it. Pattern is separated from the kit. So now need suggestins of what to sew. Have several fat quarters plus yardage. Awaiting your suggestions.

There are so many patterns that work well with reproductions. I have done a triple Irish chain and hoping to make something such as falling charms or something from Turning Twenty book.

It's hard to suggest - was the kit for a full quilt or a wall hanging?

Triple Irish Chain, Double Wedding Ring, Sunbonnet Sue, That Thirties Thing, Dresden Plate

Any of these work well with scrappy and all look beautiful in reproductions.

Darlene Zimmerman has many books and patterns for the Repro fabrics Granny Quilts, From the Clothesline Quilts,) etc, as well as Judy Rothermel (sp?), who designs the Aunt Grace line of fabrics. Also, if you google Repro fabrics, you should be able to see some of the gorgeous quilts, and get some ideas from that. Or, just find a pattern that you like, and make it up with your fabrics you have in hand. IMO, you can never have too many of the Repro fabrics,

Are your reproductions of 1930s fabrics or mid 1800s fabrics? Google Images has wonderful pictures of quilts made with both kinds.

I was wondering the same thing. Different decades call for different patterns.
Julienm1 How about a pic of the fabrics you have? Besides we all like to see pretty fabric!

Dresden Plate is my favorite for 30's fabric.
