My mother had a lot of beautiful handkerchiefs that she told me she would give me. I found a book called "Handkerchief Quilts" by Sharon L Newman. This was probably 20 years ago. I can't believe I still have that little book and could find it. There's not magic in it though. She just mounted the handkerchiefs on blocks and then sewed the block together. Then added sashing. The quilt on the cover was beautiful.
