WIP: Queen-sized Bedspread

About 5 years ago, I started a queen-sized bedspread and continue working on it over time. It is nearly done; only about 6-8 more inches left on the bottom. I plan on creating box corners so it becomes a fitted bedspread.

The yarn is Red Heart "Linen" #o330 and I'm using an H hook. The stitches are the Half-Double Crochet and the Slip Stitch. It is an easy pattern and the only problem has been the sheer size of it. Difficult to manage in my chair or on the couch. I've recently draped it over the dining room table and crochet while standing. Since I am very short, I can lean over the table and rest on it while hooking. When I turn the corner (so to speak) I walk around to the other side of the table and continue. Rather than turning the bedspread, I turn myself!

Because I've had problems before with colors being discontinued when I needed another skein or two, I over-purchased the yarn and still have about 12 skeins of RH #0330 in the Super Saver size. There is still the edging to do and I haven't chosen one, yet. Jean Leinhauser's book "50 Crocheted Afghan Borders" by Leisure Arts will be my inspiration.
