I have become quite the collector of fabric — most of it organic, and some of it secondhand. I rarely know what I’m going to use it for. Only that I eventually will use it. My fabric stash thus far has come in really handy for making cloth napkins and handkerchiefs for my daughter to take to school, and I’m made my fair share of pillow covers. This fabric is a good candidate for the collection.
While I tend to avoid florals like the plague, I have taken a newfound interest in patterns like this one from Harts Fabric. As frilly as it is, the pattern manages to mix modern and traditional in a way that will open you up to endless combination possibilities. It would look great paired with solids in brown, blue, tan or creme, or even with a bold stripe in any of those colors.
I personally can’t imagine repeating it throughout a room, but it is a good starting point for a color palette. And I’ve learned from experience that outside of ModGreenPod, Daisy Janie and precious few other designers, good upholstery weight organic cotton fabric is hard to find.
