One of my aunts would send me a new handkerchief in a card every year for my birthday and I've kept them all. My grandmother would never have used Kleenex so she had scads of handkerchiefs as did my mother. I am so thankful that I have them and I want to have them displayed where they can be enjoyed. What better way than a quilt.

I really like this idea. That definitely goes in my hopper of possibilities. Thank you for the picture.

I'm fixing to start on a hankie's quilt myself. I finally found a a pattern on ROSE COTTAGE QUILTS web-site and you don't have to cut up your hankies. Several patterns to choose from. I'm doing the "simply Hankies Two" pattern
her web site is: RoseCottageQuilts.com
her email is: [email protected]
Hope this helps some of you gals out there and good luck
on turning those hankies into a treasure to be displayed
