Vintage Hankie Quilt....Finished!
 

A friend gave me several vintage hankerchiefs she had when I told her I wanted to make a quilt with some I had purchased. I decided to make it in the quilt as you go form and it worked out wonderfully for me. I love the way it came out and wanted to share it with all of you. I hope you like it too.

Very nice. You did a great job!

Very pretty! It is so feminine and dainty. Any girl would love to have it. I love how you did the corners too.Great job.

It's beautiful! Love the corner butterflies.

Love it! Reminds me that I still need to do something with my mother's. After she died my sister and I were cleaning out her closet. After we had each sorted a huge stack of clothes I asked my sis if she had checked the pants pockets. She said no why? I reminded her that mom always carried a handkerchief in her pocket. We went back through all the pants pockets and laughed every time we found another hanky. Then we had fun dividing them up. Peggy

I like your quilt and it's giving me ideas. (Course that always happens when I'm browsing the forum.)

I may have to make one of these with some of the hankies I received many as gifts years ago when we ladies still used hankies. It would be a memory quilt of sorts, although I'm not sure I can remember exactly who gave me which hankies at this point. Oh well, it would be a memory of my youth and a sweeter time of life.

Very sweet!

Making all the hankies into butterflies is nice but so cliché. I like the idea that you didn't do that. I like your layout of your blocks. Thanks for sharing.

What a lovely way to preserve those hankies!

I love those hankie quilts,they are so pretty.

My thanks to you all for looking and for your nice words.

Very Nice.... I am collecting my hankies now to make one. I have a few from my grandmas too.

Thank you all. I just let each hankie speak to me and sothey are all quilted differently, but I love it!

Our family just divided up our mother's hankie collection that spanned over 100 years. This gave me lots of inspiration in regards to styles, creative patterns, and how to quilt-as-you-go management. Thank you!

what a wonderful use of treasure while on display.
This is one beautiful quilt...

My thanks for all the lovely things you have said. I do appreciate them!
