    Hope everyone is safe in the hurricane zone.

    Thought this was Ralph Lauren's Sophie or Brooke, but the blue lilac flowers don't fit that I could see. Also the background is a more pale yellow.

    Waverly maybe?

    Material is heavier than sheeting, so probably for curtains or pillow crafting, I guess.

    Several hours later and still can't find it. Image search always took me to RL.

    I just know someone here will know right off the bat! Thanks all.

    Cabbage roses and lilacs on pale yellow. Waverly would be a good guess, very 80s or early 90s. I'd look for a matching wallpaper; Waverly did that a lot.

    Wow, so close to looking like some RL.
    I thought it was Sophie Brooke but the patterns make me nuts.
    Good luck, I hope someone can nail it for you.

    A 1980s Ralph Lauren wannabe, I'd think.

    I compared it to many even one I have in the Kathleen Yellow with no solid match.
    This is why I never buy linens unless they are in the pkg because without the right name, I would go nuts.

    This person thinks RL, too, they says theirs are curtains. Pity the link is broken.

    You don't mention... there's nothing written on the selvedge?
    I agree that it's quite possibly a "wannabe".

    Thanks all for your replies. It is SOOO close to Brooke, but no cigar, and no blue lilacs.

    Believe it or not, 20 years ago I sold RL bedding on eBay. I even remember this same conundrum then. I think it must be a competitor's design.

    The large piece I have was someone's attempt at sewing their own curtains, so their is no selvedge, just rough edges. Could be used for crafts, pillows, etc.

    Thanks everyone for looking, guess it will be my mystery piece.
