Columbine Cody Gabriella Hand-Crocheted Coverlet - Full-Queen

Love the weight and open crochet coverlet atop contrasting solid colored sheet/comforter... holds either in place, but not smothering in any season!

It's not up to my standards, but did not want to bother with returning it,

Love that the color of sheets shows thru - works great with jewel colors and look completely changes with your sheet colors. Works well for me in hot sticky weather with AC on. Only drawback is that hangers or buttons will catch on openwork threads and you must use caution setting out clothing on bed.

as a coverlet over my duvet

We ordered 3. 2 of them had major holes that had to be repaired.

This coverlet was quite beautiful. It was not, however, what I expected. The picture of the item was deceptive, in that it appeared to be an actual bedspread. It is not. It is an exquisitely crocheted tablecloth trying to pass as a bedspread. It consists of crocheted flowers with about 3-inch diameter holes separating them...in other words, you can see the bed linen through the holes. I returned, and I will search for something more substantial to cover my bed.

I have found that this piece looks best when collabrated with antique/old cast iron beds or chunky wooden beds. Great if using a coloured blanket underneath it. I would only Hand wash it if necessary.

I have been searching for a bedspread like this for quite some time and thought I would never find it. I live in Florida and most of the year do not want much more than a sheet on my bed, but this crocheted bed spread allows me to have the sheet, but now with a light weight decorative topping. It doesn't add warmth, just beauty. I love it!
