What fun! I love old hankies. There are some very clever ways of using hankies in quilts. If you do a search, you can see some of them. Some are butterflies, others baskets, not sure what else. Also the old flowered tablecloths are very much in demand by collectors, especially if they are in good shape. If very stained or holey, they make good throw pillows for shabby chic decor or outdoor furniture. Lots of ways to use them. Do some research, but you'll realize you have a treasure trove!
