It doesn't make a difference. Just take the largest hankie and cut a square for that and use that for your block size. I have peiced another top that has smaller blocks because they are smaller hankies. I am making that one for my other sister.

I have a box full of my Grandmothers hankies. I have been wanting to do this same type of quilt. Now I know how great it can become. Thanks.

What a wonderful memory. The quilt brought tears to my eyes. I love all the notions. Did they belong to your mother? You are really talented.

Thank you so much for sharing your photos of your memorial quilt! Now I have ideas for using my own late mother's hankies, but I'll probably make smaller versions (wall hangings) and I'll be able to share with my siblings...thanks again!

we sewed on some of moms sewing notions, and some of her craft things. She was very crafty. just some things that my sis had that she wanted to put on there.
