Handkerchief Rag Quilt
 

[ATTACH=CONFIG]483062[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]483063[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]483064[/ATTACH]Just finished my 1st Handkerchief rag quilt! Wanted to see what you all think!

Very pretty!

I love it! Please tell us more about how you created it.

So pretty!!! I would never have thought to put them together like that. Great idea!

very nice indeed

Lisa....all the hankies were not the same size.....so I sewed them to white flannel squares to create all the same size blocks... When it came time to do the snipping I didn't want to cut into the hankies!....& used pink polka dot flannel on the back ...creating sandwich blocks & then sewed all together.....like a rag quilt is done! This was my 3rd rag quilt.....I did a denim one made out of squares.....& a horizontal Halloween rag quilt! Learned my lesson on the Halloween one...pieced all my fabric together ....like a normal quilt & then tried to put it together! WRONG! Had to rip it all out & start over! Always do your research first!!!��

I love love love it! It so reminds me of my grandma and my childhood. I carried one of her hanky's for something old when I got married. Well done.

I just love this! I have been collecting junkies for a while now. I might just do the same as you.

Beautiful quilt and great idea!

I love your hankie quilt. It's so pretty and feminine. What a clever idea. Thanks for sharing your project with us.

Adorable!! So girlie girly.

Very pretty.

Love your hankie quilt! I remember carrying hankies just like that. I didn't know they actually made them anymore.

so pretty. I like the way you joined them

very nice!!!

Very pretty quilt. The hankies are very pretty.

Sally, that is so sweet and feminine! Love the label envelope!

That is a great idea too for bandanas. The kids would love them.

That's a wonderful quilt! Thanks for telling us how you did it.

How beautiful! It looks so delicate and is so unique!

How sweet!! I love it!!

You made a great handkerchief quilt!

Beautiful! I love the way you did the label. The recipient is going to be tickled!

Very pretty. Love the way you did the label.

Looks great!

First, Love it and going to imitate! Second, a little tutorial in the Tute Forum would be great. (Hint Hint). Third, how long are your fringe/rag cuts? Fourth, finished size? Thank you for sharing. This is also a great way to use up a stack of different colored bandanas for a male version of the quilt. You have been inspirational.

What a wonderful idea! It is so delicate looking with the hankies.

So pretty. I've never seen a quilt made that way. Me likey!!

very pretty :)

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.

What a wonderful idea! Love the quilt!

Gee, that is so pretty. I could snuggle up with it

Wow. Beautiful and different.

Rag Quilt
 

Your quilt is beautiful!!! Wish I could find old handkerchiefs to do the same.

What a novel idea ! Thanks for sharing !!

Very feminine quilt.

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!

Great idea.

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