View Full Version : My First Thread Bed Spread
DEMET
January 20th, 2007, 05:26 PM
This is the first bedspread that I made out of size 10 ecru thread. I believe I crocheted over 400 square motifs and attached them at the last round.
I made it when I fisrt started to make things, so it was a big challange for me at that time.
It is for King size bed. I used a little while and am saving for my doughter (she is 4.5)

Did you make that from a pattern or just on a whim?
I love that pattern.
I am tackling my first thread project ( a christening gown) but would love to do a bedspread and this one is beautiful.

Hi,
This pattern came from ALTIN BASAK crochet book. But I saw same pattern at Magic or Decorative crochet magazines.

That is absolutely gorgeous...my sister took a look at it, marveled, and said she'd basically do herself in before she'd have the attention span to do something like that. :D Great work!
