    I can really appreciate your beautiful hankie quilt. I tried to do butterflies like you did with my collection of hankies from when I taught school. Getting them in that shape was no small feat! I finally gave up & put them away. I may have to go with the idea someone had on the board for cutting them etc. The only one I don't care to cut is the lace one I carried when we got married 52 yrs. ago.

    Thanks for sharing, I have a lot of my friend's mothers hankies and one day I will make something special with them, they are both deceased now.
