The pattern is in an old magazine that had all butterfly patterns. I'm at work so will look tonight. It will probably take me a few days to find--I have several boxes of old mags that I'm keeping for my retirement--ha ha.! I too started making butterflies with old hankies. I think I collected enough to make an all blue hankie/butterfly quilt and another with different colored hankies--so pretty.

I am now in the process of finishing a queen size 25th Ann quilt made of linen tatted/ crocheted ladies hankies and napkins. I have machine embroidered lovely flowers and initials in the middle of most . They do not all come out even around the edge so I added lace where needed. So many are delicate and thin so hand tacked at corners and inconspicious places onto white backing. Now I have tied the entire top/batting /backing with white embroidery thread. Lots of work but for a lovely daughter. I also addedsome small crochet dolies made by my mother and a tatted hankie from her other grandma...it is a real work of memories
