They were given to me many years ago.

I started one of these almost thirty years ago. Our local church ladies group, The Friendship Club, all donated me hankies and I made about 8 signature blocks. Those dear ladies are all now gone and I'm now inspired to get out those other 12 to finish....thanks for the inspiration. Better late than never, I hope.

I am so glad you showed us how to do that! I have been saving all my mom's older hankies with thoughts of using them in a quilt or two. This is perfect!

Thank you! Thank you!

Thanks ever so much! I recived several hankies that were my mil as well as my hubbys grandmothers and greatgrandmothers and am going to make into this quilt and this tut will save me many headaches.

I have absolutely no hankies, but the block is so nice that I may go off and try to find some, or attempt to make it from squares of pretty fabric (finding a good way to finish the edges).

Thank you for a truly lovely idea!

retta97 - I am glad it will help you. You should check out how Fabric Whisperer is doing a quilt with the Butterfly hankies. She has posted here. :-)

I have thought about trying it with fabric squares & doing the edges with one of the fancy stitches on my machine.
I have one that does a scalloped edge. May try it later this year. :-D
