I can't seem to find the right words and beautiful just doesn't quite make it. Your quilt is gorgeous. and what a wonderful story. I hope one day you do happen across your penpal.

What a beautiful quilt to keep those memories!

How beautiful! Love the way you have put this together. This is one of the best hankie quilts I have seen....the "crazy quilt" concept really has made them shine. Thanks so much for sharing the pics. Your quilting is terrific too. I'm guessing you've sparked a whole lot of inspiration with this post:)

Beautiful!

Absolutely beautiful quilt. You did a wonderful job/ It will be loved for many years to come.

Well my wait is over - I am getting into that box of hankys and starting - thank you so much for helping me with a project that has been bugging me forever - "What kind of quilt to do with the hankies." I love this place.

That's amazing. I love it. I'm also collecting hankies.

That is one gorgeous quilt. What a clever idea to use up those hankies. Well done:)

That is beautiful, great job, and thanks for sharing.

Wow! Now that's what I call talent.......it is beautiful!

My gosh. I normally don't like pastel colors or lacy things but your quilt is a work of art. I love it!

I too have old hankies from mother n law and Aunt. What a wonderful way to use them. I was toying with the butterfly one but like this one more. I do have some displayed in a collectors spoon rack hanging on the wall in the guest room. I like this better. Great job!

Fantastic quilt! Love the lavender color really makes it beautiful!

Love the crazy quilt pattern for your hankis quilt. What a lot of work. Hope Mildred finds you.

Love the way you have put this together - makes me want to start collecting hankies. Wonderful work that will make wonderful memories.

I must remember the "by guess or by gosh" saying also.

I just love this quilt. What a beautiful treasure you have created.

I love it. I could not agree more that this is the best and most appealing hankie quilt.

Really lovely.

I am in love with this!

Amazing!! You did a wonderful job putting those lovely old handkies into an absolutely charming quilt!! Congratulations on an excellent job!!

It's lovely and brings us back to a time when hankies were USED. Thanks for sharing!

What a beautiful heirloom quilt! Very nice

This is the first hankie quilt that I have actually liked. What a wonderful and unique way to display them. Beautiful, creative work of art. Thanks for sharing.

very beautiful & unique.

A beauty indeed... I love all the hankies as I know you do to.
Hope you find your pal. Maybe show the magazines and she
may see it and find you.

That is beautiful!

This is a beautiful quilt. I like the way you used your
handkerchiefs. I've seen other ways to use them but like your best. I have some of my grandmothers hankies from both sides of the family. How many hankies did you use?

I also have a box of antique hankies...some from my grandmother, some from my mom and some from a dear, beloved cousin. I have been considering making ahanky crazy quilt and yours has convinced me to do so. Your's is absolutely fabulous. Thank you for sharing.

BTW...There is a book out there (and I have it) "Hanky-Panky Crazy Quilts" by C. Brick.

Hugs, Drue

What a great idea for a hankie collector! Your quilt is gorgeous and I hope your friend is out there, sees it and contacts you soon! Beautiful job!

Your crazy quilt using the vintage hankies is beautiful. I love the sashing and the borders. So cool. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful quilt.

Just wonderful. I also have a box of hankies given to me by my fifth grade teacher who is 86. Now I have an idea on how to use them. Your quilt is beautiful!

I bet you did not think you would inspire so many people , you can add me to the list now.

That is just beautiful.......I have about fifty or so hankies that belonged to my mom and a few that was my grandmothers......I would love to do something like that so I could look at all the pretty hankies often....
Thanks for sharing.

I wish I had some of my grandmothers hankies. She always had one in her purse or tucked in her sleeve. They all disappeared.. the quilts is so soft and feminine looking. I love the lavender ..

This is a beautiful quilt, what a treasure.

What a great way to use the hankies. Your quilt is beautiful.

very nice and great repurposing!

GORGEOUS! I have a box of hankies - waiting for the right pattern AND I adore crazy quilts. Thanks so much for the idea.
