Finished Design: A textured ivory crochet bedspread featuring vibrant blue floral medallions, openwork lace squares, and a decorative scalloped edge.

Pattern accuracy note: The central flower and square-forming rounds are approximate design instructions rather than a stitch-tested reproduction. Work one complete sample motif first and adjust the placement and stitch counts for a flat, repeatable square.
