I am using repro fabrics that appear to be from 1890 - 1900 however. Shirtings, blues, reds, cranberry. The pattern and directions are by Gayle Bong.
Here are the blocks, finishing at 9.5 inches, laid out on the carpet, carpet between each block, to stand in for sashing:
And close ups of conversational prints, one featuring cats, the other flies (!!):
I plan on making this a lap robe. I have one in Christmas fabrics; I would like one for the rest of the year.

I like the blocks and the fabric choice. It looks like it's going to be a lovely quilt.
That is a great block! I may have to try to find the pattern! I like it a lot!
It's going to be fabulous when complete. I never thought about spacing the blocks on the floor to see what it would like with sashing, great idea. Thank you for linking up with Put your foot down. I hope you'll come back.
I like your new project! and the carpet makes great sashing! What fun fabrics you have!
Hmm, that carpet color may just work for the sashing.
