Field of Daisies Lily Mills Co. 1948 I hope someone makes this, it is a beautiful bedspread!

MATERIALS: The medallions for this spread, when crocheted of size 30 mercerized crochet cotton, measure about 4" square. Approx. 28 of the medallions may be made from 1 ball or skein. They are joined as one works, using a size 10 steel hook, or one that will carry the thread easily. Made of this size thread, the spread is designed to be used over a colored spread of satin or sateen. Coarser thread may be used for a heavier spread.
