It doesn't make a difference. Just take the largest hankie and cut a square for that and use that for your block size. I have peiced another top that has smaller blocks because they are smaller hankies. I am making that one for my other sister.

This is beautiful. What a wonderful idea. Now I know what I can do with all my vintage hankies. Thanks

I have a box full of my Grandmothers hankies. I have been wanting to do this same type of quilt. Now I know how great it can become. Thanks.

What a wonderful memory. The quilt brought tears to my eyes. I love all the notions. Did they belong to your mother? You are really talented.

Thank you so much for sharing your photos of your memorial quilt! Now I have ideas for using my own late mother's hankies, but I'll probably make smaller versions (wall hangings) and I'll be able to share with my siblings...thanks again!
