The second one is the prettiest. My sister folds hers just a little over half so that the lacy or scalloped edge of the back part shows just a little bit out from under the edge of the top one.

There is a book called
Hanky-Panky Crazy Quilt by Cindy Brick
You can get from Amazon or www.softexpress.com

There are a lot of "Hanky" pattern books out there. I just finished a butterfly hanky quilt using my grandma, mother and my hankies. I'm now putting on the prairie point finishing binding on it. I used Leisure Arts "Antique Quilts Recreated" book.

There are many "Hanky" pattern books out there. I just finished making a quilt using my grandma, mother and my hankies into butterflies. I used Leisure Arts book "Antique Quilts Recreated". I am putting prairie points on it now to finish it. I am very pleased with the way it turned out :lol:

Check out this website and pictures--some of the butterflies are different and it shows pics of each block

Hi and welcome, Annies Attic.com, epatternscentral.com and Clotilde.com all have patterns for the ladies hankie, butterfly and angel quilts. Hope this helps

Welcome from Clear Lake (Texas). I'm watching this link because I too have grandmother's hankies :-)

If you would google or do a search with "butterfly hankie quilt pattern" you would find lots of sites.

Yesterday I saw a quilt made out of hankies. They were butterflies and I believe they were folded in the shape of butterflies. I can't remember exactly but I think it was from E-patterns.com or quilters world. I purge most everything after I'm done so can't go back and find it. I'm pretty sure it was from one of those. They were beautiful. If I run across them again I'll let you know.

I have been interested in the same thing after returning from a trip home and acquiring 37 more to my collection. I found this pattern accidently the other day...sounds like what you want....http://www.e-patternscentral.com/det...=713&criteria=
Looks like you may have to type it in! I'm looking forward to getting it and making it, too!
