    Default Wall hanging from handkerchiefs
    A friend asked me to make a wall hanging from some of her vintage hankies..I chose several that seemed to go together nicely..she still has over 40 left..I used lots of advice from members here on the board. Which really helped..itwas a fun project as I’ve been working on huge quilts lately. Some of the hankies were quite large, so made butterflies and then they fit my background blocks.

    That's beautiful & I'm sure she will be really, really pleased with the results. The butterflies are a special touch. Thanks for sharing.
