Cottage floral print: hollyhock, foxglove, cornflower

Cottage florals — Flowers the size of a lentil in neat ranked rows, a cornflower alternating with a daisy, each on its own short stem, the rows evenly spaced so the ground shows as clean horizontal bands., cottage floral repeat, sprigs standing upright in ranked rows, a clear margin of ground around every stem, each bloom drawn open and separate, plain flat colour with a fine darker outline

The cottage floral is the tin, the apron and the quilt: garden flowers drawn plainly and set in rows with a little space around each, tidier than a meadow and softer than a chintz. These nine render hollyhock, foxglove and cornflower across three colourways. Ask for a different garden flower, like sweet pea, and the same three colourways carry it.

Frequently asked questions

What size and format do these print at?
Each pattern is a seamless square tile at even resolution, so it repeats cleanly on fabric, a tin wrap, or a kitchen wallpaper roll.
Can I get a different flower, like sweet pea?
Yes — the direction field takes any garden flower, and the same three colourways render it.
What's the difference between the three blooms?
Hollyhock reads tall and upright in the row, foxglove adds a spiky bell-shaped silhouette, and cornflower brings a smaller, rounder accent between the two.
How is this different from a chintz or a meadow print?
A chintz leaves almost no ground bare and a meadow print has no order at all — a cottage floral sits between the two, plainly drawn and spaced in tidy rows.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
