I read once that for the watercolor effect, one needs to avoid fabrics that have a light background with dark flowers, and dark background with light flowers. So, low contrast. Other than that, it's just eye and what you like. I tend to stick to florals that are tiny to 2-3"--and the big ones only work if there are a lot of smaller flowers mixed in. Look for the work "packed" in the description. Just have a reason for why one is going by another. As long as you can explain it, it ought to work. ;-)
