Check out this site! They have the watercolor florals and lots of coordinating pieces. I think they will post another sale this week too. http://www.zandsfabrics.com/index.ph...or-garden.html

You are right. It's cyclic. And the cycles are determined by the manufacturer. As with clothing, you cannot just go into a shop and know that you will find any given thing you might wish to purchase. We must choose from what's on offer.
I also am seeing that what I want to buy is not always available.

Not all the new floral collections are dark... but maybe you're just not looking at the right manufacturers!

Check out these groups by South Sea Imports and Wilmington Prints (sister comanies):

And Moda had a nice group called Summer Breeze , with yellow and blue florals. It's been pretty popular as Moda is already sold out of some of the larger scale prints.http://www.favoritefabric.com/cgi/co...gory_moda.html
