When you're choosing by-the-yard sewing fabric, the hardest part is often deciding which floral direction fits the project. Do you want a bold navy base with scattered multicolor blooms, or a subtle white-on-white tonal design? Both of these MDG cotton options are new, sold by the yard, and designed for quilting, crafting, and general sewing. They're also both colorfast and machine washable, so the practical care side is similar. If you're torn, start with the background color of your project: a dark, dramatic bed of navy or a light, neutral white. That choice will point you to the right bolt, and then the slight width difference can help you decide.
Quick verdict
If you want a high-contrast, multicolor fabric and a lower listed price, go with the Scattered Flowers on Navy Cotton. If you prefer a quiet, tonal white floral and don't mind a slightly higher listed price, go with the White on White Floral Cotton.

Where each fabric wins
- Scattered Flowers on Navy wins for a higher-contrast look. The navy background lets the multicolor petals stand out, so it reads clearly in quilt blocks, patchwork, or any project where you want the floral to be the focal point.
- White on White Floral wins for subtle texture. The small white-on-white design gives you floral detail without introducing a second color, making it a good choice when you need a fabric that behaves like a neutral.
Product notes
Scattered Flowers on Navy Cotton
If you're sewing with florals, this one gives you a rich navy ground with scattered multicolor blooms. The listing describes it as digitally printed and notes that ordering more than a yard brings one continuous uncut piece, which is helpful for quilting backs or larger projects. The colorfast cotton fits the machine-wash-cold and low-tumble-dry routine most quilters expect. The limitation is the color direction: it's a deep navy multicolor fabric, so it won't work for a white-background project. If your design needs a lighter overall look, you'd be reaching for the wrong end of the color scale.
White on White Floral Cotton
This option is the subtle counterpart: a white-on-white small floral design in soft cotton, with the same practical care routine as the navy version. The listing also notes it's made in the United States, which can be a deciding factor if you prefer domestic sourcing. The colorfast finish means you can wash it cold and dry it low without worrying about the white ground dulling. The limitation is that the white tonal pattern won't give you the contrast or color pop of the navy multicolor fabric. If you're looking for a bold statement print, this one will feel quiet and monochromatic.
Bottom line
Both are cotton fabrics with colorfast finishes, so your decision really is a color-and-mood decision. Choose the navy when you want the fabric itself to be the star of the project. Choose the white when you want the fabric to support other prints and colors. The price difference between the two is secondary to the very different mood each one creates.
Final choice by use case
- Choose the Scattered Flowers on Navy Cotton for a bold, colorful project where the floral should be front and center.
- Choose the White on White Floral Cotton for a neutral-toned project where you want floral detail without extra color contrast.
