Okay
Soon, I will be finished with my Crocheted bedspread.
I need information.
How would I go about selling it??

I will be asking quite a bit for it has it is well worth.
there will be around 488 more or less of
4 1/2 inch hexagon motif with pop corns crocheted in it
there will be over 17,220 yards of crochet 100% cotton used.
it took a size 7 crochet steel hook

It took 30 minutes more or a little less time to make one motif.
it took about an hour to crochet 20 in one row ( 20 hand crocheted each motif)
it takes about 3 hours about to crochet one row attaching to another row.
there will be maybe 21 or 22 rows I am not quite sure yet.

Don't be shocked as I am asking $1000.00 for it( one thousand)
It has taken me almost 2 years to make
Please advice me on where to sell it???
How to sell it???
Not quite sure Help appreciated hugs Sheila

Sheila, I don't think that's too high at all. two years of hard work went into that spread. I wonder if e-bay or etsy would be a good place to see it? might be worth checking out. Hope you can find the right place and sell it soon. hugs Phyllis

I think that would be fantastic if you can sell it for that much, I would strongly suggest checking out the market on Ebay and Etsy. What size bed does it fit?

It is suppose to fit a full size
This is an old pattern
Hopefully
It will not go completely to the floor as the beds these days are fuller. hugs sheila
