I was fortunate too get many of Great Grandma's hankies . Fot the past two Christmases I used some and some 8 by 10 and 4 by 6 frames. Quilted an appropriate background for the size frame and then appliqued different baskets on each. From the baskets and on the handles I was able to hang and hand tack many corners of the hankies........3-5 depending on the size of the frames. I did not use the glass. They were given to all the granddaughters and great granddaughter sas Xmas gifts. Was a lot of fun and very meaningful. If i can figure out how to send my husbands pictures i will post them. Sue
