Thank you for sharing the picture of your awesome quilt as well as your notes for making it. I have a lot of my Mom's and Grandmother's handkerchiefs from their pre-kleenex days and and was wondering what I could do with them. You solved my problem. By the way, my Mom turned 100 this past January and the handkerchiefs are from her early childhood days.

I love your quilt! Like everyone has said, it's feminine, soft, beautiful and reminiscent of years gone by. Ah the bucket list!

The design with hankies in a center block made me think of doing the same thing with t-shirts and making a t-shirt rag. The logos on shirts that you would use are never the same size but by sewing them on a larger square, it would make everything the same. Your quilt has opened many doors! Thank you!

Lovely quilt. Great idea. I have a ton of hankies and wasn't sure what to do with them. Thanks for posting.
