Evie! The original pattern calls for fewer hankies. In the Moda pattern there are several blocks that are vintage printed fabrics. By that, I guess I mean, small light colored prints. I did back some of the hankies with French Fuse but ONLY those that were thin or worn. My quilt size was approximately 96" x 116". It fits my DD queen-size bed as a blanket. By that, I mean, that it covers the pillows and I there is no need for shams.
I have a photo of a quilt that my DDIL made for our cottage (twin-size) if you would like to see it, I will post it in "Pictures" or I can send it to you via e-mail. Contact me any time that you feel you would like my input. Yolanda Wood River
