I think it's because they remind me of my childhood.
I like traditional patterns but lately I find myself drawn to the more modern, geometric patterns....lots of solid colors.

I know these things go in cycles...what goes around eventually comes around again. I seem to always be late to the party!! I was in at the LQS yesterday and couldn't believe how many fabrics were large florals. Are they making a comeback? What's trending these days in fabrics and pattern choices?

Just as a side note...my all-time favorite fabrics are paisley designs.
