The Mariakerke collection by Michelle Yeo for Henry Glass Fabrics is a highly detailed and accurate reproduction range, perfect for giving an antique flavour to your project. The 'Dotty Floral Texture' in Prussian blue (first photo) is pretty coordinate. Photos 2 - 9 show other prints from the collection.
I have made several quilts inspired by early C19th British quilts, and I'm always on the look out for fabrics like these, which are accurate reproductions of the cottons of that era. Michelle Yeo's fabrics always fit the bill perfectly.

3363-77 'Dotty Floral Texture' Mariakerke by Michelle Yeo, by 1/2m
Mariakerke by Michelle Yeo was inspired by fabrics from 2 antique quilts from the 1830s and 1840s. Michelle purchased the quilts at the European patchwork meeting held in St. Marie aux Mines. Michelle attended the show with her friend, Françoise, who lives in Mariakerke in the city of Ghent. While at the show, Françoise and Michelle stayed in a family-owned hotel run by Marie-Rose. The name ‘Mariakerke’ was selected because of the ‘Marie’ theme throughout her trip that inspired this group. Mariakerke includes a stunning floral print inspired by chintz fabrics of the 1800s in three colorways with pink and teal flowers. The collection includes two of Michelle’s trademark serpentine prints, one that runs vertically and the other a diagonal serpentine floral.
