Reading 1Blown roses
Reading 2Trailing branch
Reading 3Sprigged calico

The English printed cotton took the flowering tree off an Indian bed hanging, ran it through copperplate and then roller printing, and settled into three lasting habits: the blown rose chintz, the trailing branch and the sprigged calico. These nine render all three, each in three colourways. Ask for a different floral habit and the same three colourways carry it.

Frequently asked questions

What size do these print at?
Each pattern is drawn at A3 proportions with an even margin, so it prints clean at A3 or scales to A4.
Can I ask for a different floral habit?
Yes — the direction field takes a different habit and the same three colourways render it.
What's the difference between the three colourways?
Each colourway keeps the same floral structure and shifts the ground and bloom colours, from a classic chintz set to a lighter modern one.
Is this respectful of real English printed-cotton traditions?
The set draws on the copperplate and roller-printed chintz, branch and calico traditions of English printed cotton as a style reference for a generated print, not a reproduction of any specific mill's registered design.

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.
