TanyaL, thanks for that info. My mom used hankies but they were only the bright prints. Guess she didn't know the rules, LOL. My grandma had fancier ones, but used old cut up shirts for every day. She was very frugal.
I have been collecting hankies to make a quilt like the one in the picture that I found on the internet some time ago. I saved the picture so that I can replicate it...
