    I love this! I have my Grandma's old hankies, but never wanted to make a quilt with them until I saw yours! Did you say you would post the pattern? I'd love to be able to make one like this! Thanks!

    dcquilter! I posted the pattern but the Administrators tell me it may not be shared. So sorry. I am trying to find a link to Moda that has this pattern for those who want it. I will post this later if I find it for you. Thank you for your interest. Must also tell you that I used French Mist as a backing for those hankies that were very thin or warn. It is a soft backing and doesn't stiffen the hankies. Y

    That is absolutely lovely!!! I'm of the fading generation who uses hankies and they are almost impossible to find! But if I use paper tissues I get a raw red nose!!! (Friends who don't use them are glad to donate for the cause of my nose!)

    My daughter's neighbor gave her a lot of napkins (her children don't want them and they ignore her anyway). She gave them to me to put in a quilt and if it turns out well we may give it back to her. Has anyone done this with napkins? I'm wondering about the edges... would that have to be unsewn (forget that!) or cut off?

    That is beautiful!! I have many hankies ready to be turned into something. I was wondering what French Mist is? Is it fabric? I will look for the pattern. Thanks for sharing!!!

    I love this quilt.. I love those hankies. You order them from a man in China? Can you give out that information. I would love some of those hankies.
