Can you share the directions for how you folded the hankies. It is different from what I have seen before.

Each hanky has a design on its own... I just tried to fold each one to feature what was outstanding on that hankie. I used my iron and starch then pinned it to the block and sewed it down just staying close to the edge and getting all the edges. Each one is turning out just a bit different.

Here is the layout.... the center block is sewn but the others are not.
Not the best picture... the center block has matching sashes on it and the rest I am using purple.
