Description

CROCHETED BEDSPREAD WITH EIGHT-POINT STAR DESIGNS Bedspread: Large white crochet bedspread. Hand made. Overall geometric design. Fan and four-point star squares are joined together using single and double crochet stitches that form an outer ring around the squares. When rings are joined together, alternating stars and barrels are formed. Two areas of old mending distort the original design. Has been on display a long time and needs cleaning. Strong physical condition but appearance at this time is fair.
