Martha Washington's Choice Bedspread
Description
The Martha Washington’s Choice Bedspread is the most iconic terry bedspread ever produced by Bates. Released in 1940 under the name “George Washington’s Choice”, it was the first hobnail bedspread to ever be woven on a mechanical loom.
This vintage bedspread pattern is a replica of the handwoven candlewick bedspread that George Washington lovingly gave to his bride, Martha, on their wedding day. It quickly became a household favorite and continues to be our number one seller today.
The steadfast favorite has been in continuous production for over 80 years and during that time has also been labeled “America’s First” and simply “George Washington”.

This is one of those items that is a pleasure to buy because it is just so well made and perfect. There is not even a doubt about buying this because I know it going to be great ... and it is.
Just bought my latest Bates Martha Washington spread and it is beautiful, like all the others I have owned. My mother was a customer in the 1950's and my daughter is also following our tradition. Keep up the good work.
My Martha Washington Bedspread is absolutely beautiful. Very well made. I will treasure it forever. I can't wait to order the matching pillow shams.
I absolutely love my new bedspread. Long time dream come true.
Love the bedspread, this is my second one, my first I've had for almost 50 years! They are timeless and so historical feeling!
