No pattern, I just cut pieces and fit together, each block is different though many of them have pieces of the same hankies in them. My Great Grandma used to say she made something "by guess and by gosh". Then if it didn't turn out right, she'd say "I guessed it was right but by gosh it wasn't". Luckily these mostly came out OK...or they didn't make it into the quilt!
