This blanket (we called them coverlets in the south back then) with it's one rounded corner reminds me of a single bed cover in a camper or motor home. My family rented a Winnebago for vacation around 70-72 and these 'one curved cornered coverlets' on the single beds are something I remember. Three corners were tucked in and the curved corner was turned back for bedtime.
Perhaps check out Airstreams and Winnebagos and other popular motor homes and campers from that era.
ETA...to clarify... I remember the curved corner being on the visible foot of the bed. The bed was against the wall.
I checked out some sites for Airstreams and I see what you mean about the corner. The bed had to have a rounded corner so the door to the room would open easier. The bed took up the tiny area it was in. I think the spread was from a motel but was cut down to fit something like an Airstream mattress or a bed up against a wall.
