Hi, also from Northern Michigan. I made four lap quilts from my grandmother's hankerchiefs and I used the patterns by Pineapple Press called Love Letters and Grandma Linderoth's Hankies. They are available from Pineapple Press, 2620 Friday Rd., Coloma, MI 49038 269-468-6418. I backed the hankies with fusible web to reinforce them and used clear monofiliment thread on top.
