Tips

- To make the bedspread reversible, simply sew the top fabric and lining pieces together with right sides together instead of wrong sides together.

- You can add a decorative border to the bedspread by sewing a strip of contrasting fabric around the entire perimeter.

- To make the bedspread more plush, use a heavier weight batting.
