PINEAPPLE QUARTET TABLECLOTH, 1950 **NB

Completed Size: for tablecloth is 54 x 68" This motif can also before single size bedspread-16 x 24 motifs. for double size bedspread make 20 x 24 motifs.

Model Made by Shirley Guess and Donated to CP's library 12/96

S's notes: This is obviously just one motif! I didn't make the entire tablecloth. If anyone does, please let me know (shefog@nas.com) I'll gladly replace this picture with a picture of your tablecloth
I made this motif out of Lustersheen because I wanted something thicker to put under a plant or for a pillow. Since Lustersheen is equivalent to sport weight, the motif was much larger than the original pattern. It worked up into a 12 in square. sg
