Help me find a fabric for blinds

I know this might be a long shot but I have a patterned fabric in mind and can't find anything similar for sale. I'd like a light blue, floral fabric, but not vintage floral or too small or fussy. I want the colours to only be the blue against a light background - so no other colours or shading. I like the contrast of only the blue and white on this fabric www.libertylondon.com/us/poppy-day-cotton-poplin-R484763006.html but it is too small and busy for what I have in mind as well as the blue being darker than I'd like. I'd prefer it to be quite graphic looking rather than ditsy.

Does anybody have any suggestions?

That's my time up! Let me know if they are anywhere near, I'm looking at loads of fabrics over the next few days.

Lovely fabrics, thank you so much for taking the time to send those links! I particularly like the first one and the fourth. I'll get some samples of those.

I've also found this eBay listing for a marrimeko fabric in light blue but it seems to be the only place I can find it in that colour and it's coming from America. Seems a little strange that it I can't find any other reference to the light blue colour. Any internet sleuths out there able to unearth it? www.ebay.co.uk/itm/184468274734

It also specifically says duvet cover fabric so perhaps too thin for a blind.

I'm glad you liked some of my finds. I've not come across any more. I've no idea about the duvet fabric! Happy hunting.

William Morris & Co Compton China Blue or Sunflower Vintage Blue

Yogatoga I love number 4!

Was going to suggest William Morris Sunflower too:

I also have a blind fabric dilemma (as well as a sofa bed one🙄) but don't want to hijack your thread OP, you've inspired me to start my own...
