What a clever way to use hankies...love it...

Could you show us how to fold them. I have quite a few hankies as my mother loves getting them off ebay (so she always lets me pick one). My mother would love to have a quilt using the hankies she has purchased.

I will have to figure out how I did it & maybe can take pictures for each step with explaination.
I still have some folded but not sewn on a block, will try to do this & post in about a week.

Awesome how you made them out of hankies!

Beautiful, what is it called and or where did you find that pattern.

I love it. Sure wish I had kept all the old hankerchiefs that have passed thru my hands over the years!!

I call it Butterfly. I saw it done on a quilting show about 8 yrs ago or I foundit searching the web back then.
I think I searched " Hankie Pankie Butterflies " .
Maybe that will help. I am going to try to post how I folded them in about a week.
Thank you all !!

I'd love to try this. My mother-in-law left me about 20 hankies (very old and fancy) and I've just had them put away for about 10 years. I'd love to try this in memory of her!
