DescriptionWhite cotton crocheted bedspread coverlet of multiple interlocking diamond rayed "snowflakes." Each ray with six small balls (bobbles), three on each half, projecting from the front surface. The sides of the bedspread are scalloped, made up of star sections. On the back, wave-like lines are located between bands of snowflakes, or around them, the crocheted lines connecting the various pieces.
