thank you soooo much but I think that I have decided to put each hankie on a square and then put all the squares together - this way I can work them anywhere if I need to hand sew some of the squares and I'm sure that I will have to since some of the hankies are different shapes. It was so nice of you to offer your book - if I decide on a different way I will be sure to contact you for a loan of the book. Hope this way works out for me, since this is my first quilt I want it to be half-way nice. Thanks again for being so thoughtful.
