Many congratulations ! I love the way you used "sand" shades for the Sahara area, South of Morocco, Mauritania and part of West Africa. I also travelled quite a bit through the African continent and my collection of fabrics looks like a Moroccan "souk";) those materials are my favourites to work with. Not only because of their unique colours and patterns but also because of the soft texture of the various sorts of coton. I am so glad I came across your blog !
