Did she change her mind after seeing what a beautiful job you did of preserving the treasures for all to enjoy?? I sure would have. No use keeping it folded and hidden away when it could shine like these beauties do. Congratulations on a terrific job. Wish I had some to share with you.
Blessings.

Beautiful! I have 50 hankeys of my mom's you have given me some great ideas.

I wanted to say thank you everyone so very, very much for all your lovely comments. I appreciate them all so much!!

My Aunt loved the quilts once they were made but still didn't agree with cutting them up.

I did feel as if I were creating an heirloom... the hankies were already heirloom to me so I simply arranged them so they could be enjoyed everyday instead of tucked away.

I inherited several beautiful hankies from my grandmother. They are way too beautiful to actually use (can you imagine blowing your nose on these?). I have always cherished them and now I know what to do with them to keep them safe and still be able to appreciate them. I also have one from a great aunt that is so fragile I never even open it. I wonder if I could make it into a wall hanging?

Your quilts are beautiful. I took a class at the Road to CA show this last Jan. from Cindy Brick. She is a great teacher. I made a "Hanky Panky" quilt in the class that I just love.
