    Hi. This is fatcat. I haven't been on here for quite a while. I have been busy with things with my house and going to work and other problems.

    I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to make a bandana quilt. Do I cut the bandana's into squares or how do I do them. I have bought some really pretty bandanas at the Dollar General stores and I would like to make a quilt out of them. Does anyone have any patterns they could post on here or tell me how to do it?

    Thanks P.J. fatcat :-)

    almost any pattern will work.
    cut in strips, cut in fouth and sew diff colors together.
    depends on who much you want to cut and sew or just sew the hankies together whole if they are all the same size

    Thanks for the info. I am going to wash them but just waiting until I found some more and maybe some ideas for patterns to make them.

    These are 100% cotton but they are so pretty, especially the plaid ones.

    Thanks again.

    Wash them at least 3 times before cutting.
