I've have always wanted to make a butterfly quilt out of hankies but it will never happen. So fun to sew yours. Thanks for sharing.

It took me a few trys before I got them the way I wanted, because I did them from memory after seeing them.
I 'm going to try to take pics & explain how I did mine, hopefully in about a week. I have a dress to finish altering first.

I don't have a book or pattern. I saw it done on a quilting or sewing show on tv about 8 yrs or so ago.
I will try to explain how to fold with pictures in about a week.
