I saw a quilt wall hanging done with old handkerchieves and fell in love with it so I have started collecting them. All of the hankies were old fashion skirts. It was absolutely beautiful and you don't have to cut the hankies. I still have to work on exactly how to do mine as I couldn't get a picture of the wall hanging. I think the blouse and large Southen type hat was appliqued above the hankie. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I had a pattern that was a wall hanging. Each block was a pocket with a hankie in it. You didn't have to cut them up. I made it with 3 pockets horizontally (you can us as many as you want) I used a tiny border around and then a little larger. It turned out nice and didn't have to cut them. I don't mind cutting up ones I find, but ones that belong to my family I can't cut. Hope it helps.
