New Project

I have been wanting to do a wide project using my double flybox for some time.  Last year I started planning a bedspread in overshot.  Conventional thinking for a coverlet for a King size bed would be to make 3 panels.  However, the repeat is quite large and was not easy to condense to 3 panels without losing a lot of design elements.




So, I have decided to do a 60 inch panel, and then cut a second 60 inch panel into 2 and use a piped embelishment to join the panels.  Below is a sample using the colors:



The yarn is a 6/2 cotton set at 18 epi with the same weft and a Shetland wool pattern thread in brown.
