How cool is that? Crazy cool! I'd border it & use it as a quilt. It's too, too, too neat! Please post after you made this into something special, K'?

I would just iron some fusible interfacing onto the back for support and frame it the way it is.

Not sure how big your piece is, or whether this would work, but I thought the idea was fabulous and plan to mount some of my own vintage hankies this way!

That is what I was thinking. Too nice to cut. Just put it in a frame and hang it on your wall. BrendaK

I have a 'tea towel' that I bought in Italy for 3 Euro. I had it framed and it now hangs in my breakfast area. Looks good and gets nice comments, plus it reminds us of the good time we had on our only European trip! Framing cost me about $65, but it was definitely worth it.

From the scanned pictures you could make a whole set of travel bags, i.e.; makeup, jewelry, travel documents, carry-on, etc! I love the retro theme!
