The hankies or washed, dried and pressed with stabilizer then they are sewn down on a fabric backing. I used Kona Snow for my backing. Measure the largest hanky and decide on the size of the blocks. Some of my hankies were worn and thin so I backed them with French Fuse, a lightweight stabilizer that remains flexible. On this quilt, I used some of the printed fabric as backing for some of the hankies. Hope this helps. Good luck.
