A collection of assorted blankets and bedspreads featuring a variety of materials and decorative designs. The lot includes a large celestial themed fleece blanket with a multi-paneled design depicting a crescent moon, stars, a stylized sun, raindrops, and a comet set against blocks of blue, brown, green, and cream, finished with a brown fabric binding. Also present is a lightweight woven bedspread in a cream base colour with a repeating geometric pattern of interlocking squares in muted blue and grey tones. A traditional woolen style blanket features a plaid pattern in shades of purple, teal, and dark blue with blanket-stitched edges; a small fabric label is attached to one corner featuring a pictorial device of a leaping animal and stylized text which is not clearly legible. Completing the group is a solid light blue blanket with a soft, napped surface texture. The collection demonstrates a variety of weaving and manufacturing techniques suitable for domestic utility.
