Crochet blanket by Maria Antonia Ludovici Martinez, San Francisco, California, USA
<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>
