I've have always wanted to make a butterfly quilt out of hankies but it will never happen. So fun to sew yours. Thanks for sharing.

I 'm going to try to take pics & explain how I did mine, hopefully in about a week. I have a dress to finish altering first.

lab 55, Is there a pattern for this or a book? I have all my Grandmothers hankies and would like to do this.

Glad you found these. I'm not sure if any were the one I used, but the flat wing ones are the only ones I did, don't remember which show on tv at that time.

I don't have a book or pattern. I saw it done on a quilting or sewing show on tv about 8 yrs or so ago.
I will try to explain how to fold with pictures in about a week.
