<p>A blanket made by assembled "granny square" motifs, made by my grandmother Maria Antonia Ludovici Martinez (1905-1991). Source of design unknown, crocheted of unknown yarns that feel like an acrylic-wool blend. Some squares were added on later with a brighter green yarn.</p>

Crocheted Bedspread
Double bed size bedspread was crocheted by my grandmother sometime in the 1940s to 1950s. It was made by my grandmother and given to me by my mother. I used it on a guest bed for many years and it is currently stored, since it's not practical for everyday use.
