My latest design African spirit was inspired by the African culture and animals. I really enjoyed using lots of colours and I’ve specified where I changed colours, but you can either go wild or go neutral, anything will look great. There is a detailed border that’s optional to do. You can either do a blanket, wall hanging or table runner.
