I believe this particular design is quite rare. Sadly I only have a small piece, or rather two small pieces that have been sewn together to make a cushion cover by the previous owner. If you look at the top right image on this website about Katsuji Wakisaka, you can see a larger piece and the full pattern repeat.
It has a bold primary colour print and Wakisaka was famed for his playful designs. It is said that he "introduced new aesthetics which enriched and expanded the Marimekko style" in the 1970s. I love this design and although I wish I had more of it, I'm grateful I managed to grab this small piece of design history when I had the chance.

Hi!! I googled Karuselli/Marimekko and came to your blog :) Actually I have 3 x 2,15m of this vintage fabric, which I'm interested in selling for 45 dollar / Meter. Does that have your interest? All the best Merete/Denmark
