    Beautiful, I think I recognize one of them from my younger days when a lady never went out without a real hanky. In fact at my high school graduation, generally every girl got a pretty hanky in her card. Your quilt brings back fond memories.

    Love it! So far I made teddy bears for my sis and sister in law. I used my mom's and mother in laws hankies for each. Right now I am working on a crazy quilt cover to my bedroom wastebasket using only hankies. Next will be a quilt...never knew how I would do it but you sure solved that problem for me.....I cannot thank you enough.

    My thoughts exactly - I have a lot of hankies from my great aunt and other relatives and would love to do this with them. Thank you for letting us know how you did it.

    Funny you mentioned that. I have the ones my grandmothers gave me. And the cards.
