Wow! How fortunate you are. My DIL and I made three Moda Hanky quilts. They are absolutely beautiful. The idea is to sew the hanky on a background fabric then use the square in a quilt. I am sure if you go to Moda you will be able to see an example. If not, let me know and I will send you a photo of my quilts (my DIL made two for me and I made one). [email protected]. Yolanda

I know theres no way I can use them all. So as soon as I decide what i'm going to do im going to share. I think theres so old flour sack material that was just sewn up in to dishtowels but never use and theres a lot of old quilting pattern books for the 70 and 80. also some old newpapers from the 30's with quilt patterns
