Did you have to stabilize your hankies?

Me, too! I love vintage hankies anyway & this is a wonderful way to recycle them! And what wonderful memories for your DD! This is just such a sweet, soft-looking quilt. I love it! Did you say some of the hankies were from Moda? I've never heard of that...

Can you tell me where you got the label? It appears to be something you can write to.

I have a quote I want to use on a label, but I have not found anything like this that would accomodate it.

The hankies or washed, dried and pressed with stabilizer then they are sewn down on a fabric backing. I used Kona Snow for my backing. Measure the largest hanky and decide on the size of the blocks. Some of my hankies were worn and thin so I backed them with French Fuse, a lightweight stabilizer that remains flexible. On this quilt, I used some of the printed fabric as backing for some of the hankies. Hope this helps. Good luck.

I made my own label. I used two layers of the light background fabric, Kona Snow, because the fabric is lightweight. For the printing, I cut a piece of freezer paper 8 1/2 X 11 inches, cut a piece of the light fabric it bit larger than the paper then cut the fabric off to match the freezer paper. I then printed my saying with an ink jet printer and heat set it with an iron. If you plan to do the triangle in the corner, the long side of the my triangle was 11-inches wide, which included 1/4" seam allowance. I sewed the label on to the corner of the quilt matching the stitching line of the binding. Then finished my binding on the backside and sewed the top of the label to the quilt. I hope this helps you. Yolanda

This is a beautiful quilt, I love all the pretty handkerchiefs and the way you did the label! I love, love, love the border, I'm looking forward to doing that border on one of my quilts in the future! Great job, I know your daughter will cherish this quilt!
