This is a hanky quilt that I made for my daughter. Some of the hankies belonged to my mother. Others were collected and some purchased. Each has a French Fuse ironed on the back and then they are sewn down onto a white Kona cotton block. The blocks were then set on point. This worked very well. I believe this would work for your squares. This quilt also has white sashing.
