Hi, Yolanda -- Yes, I know this is your quilt; I saved your original post that's why I was able to provide the correct link. I haven't yet put together my mom's hankies!

You know, I don't think you ever posted a picture of your daughter's quilt. Did you? I believe the one showing with the pattern is from Moda's directions. If you still have a pic of your quilt, I sure would like to see it. The new twin quilts you show are great, and I love the shams!

This keeps all blocks the same size. On the more used/delicate hankies, I ironed them to the block with "French Fuse", which is a light-weight fusible. I had a long-arm quilter quilt this with an all-over pattern and it turned out beautiful. This is the 2nd hanky quilt that I have made. For the one above, my daughter couldn't choose which hankies she wanted so we used them all. Some I purchased. The other quilt was for a twin bed and I followed the Moda directions. (My daughter-in-law made one and I made one to match for these twin beds.)

Please let me know, if I may be of further help to you. Yolanda

Folded butterfly

I can't find the pattern buy you can fold in half, make 2 small pleats (tucked under going different directions). Add small black head where pleats are, stitch down the pleats to the corner tips and edges. this is a great method if there any with spots or damage. hope this makes sense.

Hi Evie! Thank you for your posts and your thoughtful words. The photo in the link that you shared is the quilt that I made for my daughter and I did not follow the complete Moda pattern. The two twin quilts that I posted ARE the Moda pattern. In the Moda pattern there are blocks of fabric in between the hankies. I did use French Fuse on the more worn and delicate hankies. I also sewed each hanky around its edge with coordinating fabric. This method worked well for me. Thanks again for your post and interest. FYI - I was given written permission to share the Moda Quilt Pattern from Moda as the pattern was out of print at the time of my posting.
