I was reading this thread
http://www.quiltingboard.com/posts/list/23066.page and LisaT posted a link to a quilt made out of vintage tablecloths and sheets. What a beautiful quilt! I just got a small vintaqe tablecloth from my parent's house but there may not be enough fabric to do much with. Then, I thought of my grandmother's hankerchiefs. She had probably dozens of them, almost all brand new, some with the tags still on them. I put my favorites in a picture frame divider but maybe I can make a quilt with them.
They are thin, as hankerchiefs are, so would anyone have a recommendation about how to back them with something or is there a product that they could be fused with that wouldn't make them as stiff as a board? A light-weight fusible? An iron-on interfacing? Maybe sewing them with a design onto a background square?
