Hello Melissa
Material. Cotton, if possible.
To the choice of the colors I send you a photo of our bed corner. As you can see on the photo, one wall is covered with wood (oak), the other one is wallpapered white.
The combination of colours for the bedspread should correspond to African motifs.
Yours sincerely
Klaus
Hi Klaus,
Thank you so much for your response.. I have understood what you are envisioning.. I however would like a clarification.. Would you need me to put in a microfiber filler for more warmth (as in a comforter)or not.

Hello, Melissa,
the Mteril should be cotton or do you have another idea??
Kind regards
Klaus
Hi,
Cotton is okay I believe..let me work with that. Will send you pictures of fabric so that you choose.

Hello, Melissa,
no microfibre filling is necessary. To make it clear, it should not be a blanket to cover oneself with, but a blanket to cover the beds during the day,
Yours sincerely
Klaus
Hi Klaus,
Now it is very clear ...thank you for the response.
Hi Klaus,
I have uploaded some fabrics that you can choose from if they are in line with your vision.

Hello, Melissa,
thank you very much for your great offer. We found it very difficult to choose the motive. The "Family Council" then decided on the 2nd motif from the left (on a red background 2 alternating blue-white-red motifs, separated by white longitudinal stripes with longitudinal motif).
We are already looking forward to the delivery.
Greetings Klaus
Hi Klaus,
Great hearing from you.. That is an excellent choice,I would be glad to realise it for you.

Hi Klaus,
Great hearing from you.. That is an excellent choice,I would be glad to realise it for you. I've indicated the prices for this to look presentable and not wear out easily, I must buy four pieces and sew them together.. That's why the price is the way. I hope all is okay until now.

Hi Klaus,
Hope you are well..I have uploaded pictures and a video of me working on your project.. Hope you enjoy the steps. Due to how large the fabric is, it's a bit difficult for you to tell the contrast of the fabric as I progressed with the work. But I've finished everything and with a go-ahead quality check from urban change lab, the next step will be to ship to you.
Regards,
Melissa.
