Does anyone know where I could buy some vintage hankies? I would like to make a quilt using them. I have some, but not enough to do a quilt.

Have you tried Googling? I'll bet you can find some on Ebay.

I love vintage hankies!!!!!!!! I've gotten them at flea markets, antique shops, ebay, they are not hard to come by.

Try thrift stores

Thrift stores, antique stores, ebay, garage sales, estate sales, auctions, and you can buy new "vintage" type hankies in the fabric or general stores in most Amish communities. Out of all of the above listings I've had the most luck at estate sales, auctions and garage sales.
It took me almost two years but I gathered enough for three king size quilts.

It must be beautiful and I'd love to see how it looks.
Thanks

Don't know how many you need but I bought some fabric (it is christmas) that is obviously a reproduction of vintage hanky squares. Google hanky fabric and you might be able to fill in with the new stuff. Good luck.

I purchased my hankies on ebay. Be sure to type in "lot of vintage hankies" if you want to buy more than one hankie. My vintage hankie quilt was so much fun to make. You can check it out on etsy for some creative ideas. The address is listed below this posting.
