Beautiful work, just lovely. Great job!

JaKnits 03-02-2011 06:40 PM
That is lovely! I really like the use of the colored background, usually I see these on white backgrounds. I just got started making one of these today, picked up some vintage hankies at an antique store that I just couldn't resist :lol:

Rainybug 03-02-2011 06:45 PM

I did post a tute here, just don't know how to post a link to it.

Thank you for all the great comments ! I will be doing another one, but not right away & not on point since I have 6 blocks of the butterflies on a cream background fabric.

What a great idea. I have at least 1 doz. hankies where my grandmother had crocheted around the edges. Now I have an idea of what to do with them. Thanks for sharing!!

I have a pattern for a full size quilt using vintage hankies that look very much like yours. I am having trouble finding the hankies. It is a work in progress. Every time I visit an antique mall, I look for them. When I have all 12, then I will start mine.
Your's is Beautiful! Great job.

It is. I have a few left over from my pre-Kleenex days. Your quilt is an inspiration! Thanks for sharing.
