I think the difference is when you cut a modern print into small pieces there is such uneven color variation that the block design is sometimes lost, where in the traditional you can still follow the scheme, just with more texture/
That's an interesting observation. I hadn't thought of that. But then, i'm a bit thrown by large florals, too, even though they're beautiful. Clearly, I need to find a great traditional pattern for them and venture out more.
