Description

Crocheted double bed size spread that is made up of individual medallions (12 medallions long by 11 medallions wide). The center part of the medallion is round and made up of several rows of double and single crochet, including two sections that are 3 dimensional. The center portions vary somewhat but are all about 5.5" in diameter. The outer 'petal' portion or rows are where the medallions attach to each other and to the diamond shaped motifs that fill in the shoulder area.
