    It's lovely and brings us back to a time when hankies were USED. Thanks for sharing!

    This is the first hankie quilt that I have actually liked. What a wonderful and unique way to display them. Beautiful, creative work of art. Thanks for sharing.

    A beauty indeed... I love all the hankies as I know you do to.
    Hope you find your pal. Maybe show the magazines and she
    may see it and find you.

    This is a beautiful quilt. I like the way you used your
    handkerchiefs. I've seen other ways to use them but like your best. I have some of my grandmothers hankies from both sides of the family. How many hankies did you use?

    I also have a box of antique hankies...some from my grandmother, some from my mom and some from a dear, beloved cousin. I have been considering making ahanky crazy quilt and yours has convinced me to do so. Your's is absolutely fabulous. Thank you for sharing.

    BTW...There is a book out there (and I have it) "Hanky-Panky Crazy Quilts" by C. Brick.

    Hugs, Drue
