WOW! This is a really beautiful piece of fabric. The colors are MUCH richer and deeper in person than pictured on the website.The description on the website of the colors being brown and green (as shown in the item description and pictures) is a little inaccurate,though. The actual fabric colors are more deep grape purple for the background and the "brown" is really more of a burgundy color while the pale blue green of the website picture is actually a creamy green with a lot of yellow in it. I think the fabric is much better in person than the website picture indicates.The fabric itself has a nice heavy weight,too.
Merchant Response:Thank you for the feedback. We have updated the photo and description to better reflect the actual colors of the fabric.
