My beautiful friend Lisa at Life As We Know It is hosting a weekly linky party sharing mood boards based on the weekly theme. This week is the first, and being florals, I thought I’d join in and share a fabric mosaic of some favourite florals! The trick to mixing and matching florals is to get a range of scales – small, medium, large, as well as a couple of blenders, and of course some solids!
Are you scared of florals, or do you embrace their beauty? Joshua, you know I’m lookin’ at you…

Hahaha! I was reading this post going, I can totally relate to this! Then I read to the end and WHOOP there it is! So I’m a total floral convert now and think they definitely have their time and place. I agree with nearly all of your post but add in some geometrics in the floral colours for some variety and you’re on a modern winner!
Alyce says
Haha, next week’s theme is geometric!! I’ll have to throw in some geometric floral just for you 😉
LisaW says
Great selection of floral fabrics Alyce! Definitely not granny-like at all. Thanks for playing with me this week!
Paula says
Lovely selection. I’m particularly drawn to the first three – they may just have to go on my wish list.
Heidi @ Fabric Mutt says
I love your board, Alyce!!
Marie Lismore says
Gorgeous combination of colours. I love what large bold florals. Thanks for sharing Marie
Chloe says
What a lovely collection of floral fabrics! I am really drawn to the yellow! I love the bold prints 🙂
Norlin says
I’ve got a love hate relationship with florals. I used to hate them because well, you know…it reminded me of grandmas, but nowadays, you can actually make it funky and even…dare I say…a bit edgy if you mix florals with the right elements. Great picks you’ve got there too Alyce!
Kelly @ My Quilt Infatuation says
I love florals, but I tend to go more for the graphic looking florals with big blooms and bold colors- a lot like the ones you have picked. They look great!
🙂 Kelly
Tina says
I’m not a huge floral lover when it comes to fabric but I do like some of the ones you have chosen 🙂
Ros says
Gorgeous selection Alyce! For me, Amy Butler is my go-to designer for modern florals, and I am really liking the Nordika range at the moment!
Kim-Marie from Kimba Likes says
Second from the top on the right is my favourite. How lovely! Retro cute.
Emma says
Thanks for sharing this today…I even decided to join in 🙂
Margaret Schindler says
I love florals and am glad to see some beautiful ones. I was beginning to think that florals were going out of style.
Catrin says
I think that florals can be very modern – it mainly depends on the designer and the colours they use – love your selection!
Kylee {Brodricks go live, 365} says
Oh I’m in love with that mustard colored floral.
As a general rule I’m not a floral lover but the ones you’ve put together look great.

I have never been a massive fan of florals, but there are some super pretty fabrics coming out that might just change my mind!!
