A request by Anna from Kiedrich, Germany

I would like a sofa throw (about 2.80 by 2.10 meters) with a colorful pattern.

Kindly let me know what you think of the following prints; we can use them to make a print. This is cotton batik

I would like something like this in the attached photo.

Lulu Oniang'o (13. June 2017)

Ok, I understand. Thank you for the feedback. I will check the available fabrics and send you pictures for your approval. Kindly give me no more than 2 days.

Automated Translation (15. June 2017)

Sure, no problem!

Lulu Oniang'o (20. June 2017)

Hello, it's been a bit challenging finding a fabric similar to what you showed me, but I have attached the designs that are available. Kindly let me know if there are any of these you prefer.

Automated Translation (26. June 2017)

Yes, I like the second material on the right ( green-yellow-orange) in the first row.

Lulu Oniang'o (27. June 2017)

That should be the only one that doesn't have blue, right?
Ok and for back of it we can put fleece/blanket material. Available colors are as what I've attached, as well as navy blue or black.
It will be finished as such like the purple blanket in the second picture that has black fleece.

Translator MB (30. June 2017)

For the back, please use the fleece with the darker green.

Lulu Oniang'o (8. July 2017)

Dear Anna,

Please find attached the colors in wool brush and fleece.

They both match with the fabric.

I have quoted the price for the throw if we use fleece fabric.
