    I love them!! They look so pretty-I love all the colors. You seem to have this "scrappy" method figured out. Your blocks look great-good job!

    My vote goes to the navy. Both red and green are very prominent in your blocks, so the navy is a refreshing change. Belles

    Whew hew! I'm finally to 25.
    Here are my first 25 of the 3" blocks. Would love to have all opinions. Do I need more of any color? I am trying to do this in 30's prints and I would love to have all ideas on what to use for sashing. I would like to stick with 30's colors but am really thinking a solid would be best. Any ideas? I will have to see if anybody in town carries any solid 30's.
    Thanks in advance for all your help and ideas, it's really appreciated.(Actually there are 26 blocks here one I haven't decided which one I will keep and the other use for something else)

    You are amazing JAGSD! I cannot fathom trying to do all those little pieces in a 3" block. All I can say is WOW!

    I think your 30's blocks look great. They do make solids in thirties colors. You might check online and just search for thirties fabrics and they should have the solids in with that collection.

    Good job!

    As JeanieG said - "You are amazing!" I'm not a fan of 30's fabrics, but your choices flow beautifully. With all the different patterns, I too think you will almost have to go with a solid or something that reads solid from a distance (to quote Eleanor Burns). One thing I did notice, in the top row, fifth block from the left, the Batwing's black or navy seems to jump out from the other blocks. Perhaps if you used more of this color, it wouldn't be so prominent. Just a thought. Belles

    Thank you Belles,

    Boy it does stand out. Now why didn't I catch that? I'm thinkin it is way too bold for the rest of the colors. I may try a different one I am really not sure if the black is a true #30's print or is it?
    Thank you

    Thank you JeanieG, believe me, their has been a couple of them I really wondered about! Their backs look like major seam roads...he hee I am doing them Paper piecing so they are fairly easy for me to do They will be interesting when quilting the final quilt.
