Default Hankie quilt help!!!

I want to start a hankie quilt for my sister (for her 78th BD in september), some of my mom's hankies have crochet on the ends and some are scalloped. I do not like the butterfly folding, so I was thinking of using fusible bonding to bond the hankies to moda white fabric squares and maybe machine embroider around the edges. I was thinking of making the white squares the same size, (larger than the largest hanky), and squaring up the squares as the hankies are all different sizes. I was wondering if anybody did a quilt like this, and how messy it was (glue through the crochet) etc. Or is there a better way. Your advice and help is greatly appreciated.
