This is lovely!
One of the motivations to quilt 20+ years ago was a hankie that had been my grandmother's.
I still have it and would love to one day make one of these.
Thanks for sharing!!!!!!!

Where do you get the handkerchiefs to use for this type of quilt?

Mine were given to me many years ago, but check yard sales, flea markets, & thrift stores.
Hope this will help you find some.

This is beautiful. My mother had many decorative hankies that I inherited and didn't know what to do with. Thank you for your inspiration.
Did you have a specific pattern that you used or was this designed on your own?

Thank you for your response.
