    I think your fabric selection is great. What about making the centers all different? I really like the yellow, red and blue prints in the centers.

    thanks for that one.......I kind of thought like that too. Better like that?
    And does a solid center draw all the attention or does it calm down?

    I'd go with the same solid for all the plates - the yellow is fine.

    Using a solid unifies the blocks
    If you sash, I'd use whatever solid you used as the center.
    If you have a corner stone in the sashing, I'd then use a mix of your prints

    I like the yellow the best, then the red next. I don't like print for the centers, makes the plate not stand out. Beautiful plates by the way, 30's fabric is my all time favorite.

    I'd give each one a different center-use all that you have shown us.

    The solid yellow is the best and more traditional.

    What about cream or white for the center?
