hanky lady quilt
Just finished this hanky lady quilt top. I was searching for a way to use vintage hankerchiefs in a quilt and saw this idea online somewhere but couldn't find a pattern... so I improvised and made my own. The ladies's skirts and the outer border are made from vintage ladies hankerchiefs. This was so much fun to collect hankies from flea markets and antique malls...could hardly wait to create the fancy skirts! Each lady took on her own personality. I used the hankerchief fabric in each skirt to make a matching miniature hanky for each lady to hold...will bind the quilt in the blue fabric like the sashing...now just have to decide on how to quilt it.
