A friend of mine is going to start making one of all new handkerchiefs...thought this was a neat idea so I have been looking for patterns.

A friend of mine made a handkerchief quilt/wallhanging, like a memory quilt, but without pictures, and used handkerchiefs from her mom and grandmother. She cut squares (either 4 or 5 inch) from fabrics from their clothing (using the softer colors) and put a corner of the handkerchief over 1 corner of each square. She set the squares on point with the handkerchief corner at the bottom. It was quite attractive. I hope my description makes sense. I'll see if she can take a picture and send it to me to post. I think the fabric was mostly soft pink.
