    What a trip! I brought my late Gramma's hankies to work today to sort through and decide how to layout a quilt with them! And here you have posted your own hankie creation!

    I think I will need to frame mine since there are about 30 and they are all different sizes. Some need to be soaked in OxyClean too. Looks like scorch marks on a few.

    So nice to have another creative male in our group! Keep up the good work, and keep posting pics!

    What a great way to display such a precious collection!! I've used those to make pillow cases, the hankie as the skirt of a lady's dress, but I always felt awful for cutting them up. Your way is sooo much better!

    A couple of the hankies were from the 40's and I just didn't want to cut them so I though why cut them up when I can just sew them together. :)

    My grandmother is trying to decide if she should hang it as it is or put it in a frame to hang it up.
