Your crazy quilt using the vintage hankies is beautiful. I love the sashing and the borders. So cool. Thanks for sharing.

Just wonderful. I also have a box of hankies given to me by my fifth grade teacher who is 86. Now I have an idea on how to use them. Your quilt is beautiful!

That is just beautiful.......I have about fifty or so hankies that belonged to my mom and a few that was my grandmothers......I would love to do something like that so I could look at all the pretty hankies often....

I wish I had some of my grandmothers hankies. She always had one in her purse or tucked in her sleeve. They all disappeared.. the quilts is so soft and feminine looking. I love the lavender ..
