Lab55, The butterflies are a clever use of handkerchiefs. I have alot of handkerchiefs that I've collected. It would be a fun quilt to make. Thanks for sharing. Eiltcoq.

Thank you all !! I am glad you like them.
I really don't remember where I got them, it was soo long ago.
You could check Good Will, yard sales, or any Thirft shops & you may find some.
I appliqued them on the blocks about 8 yrs ago. I still have a few that I folded & pressed that need to be put on blocks. Just don't know when or if I will do them.
