I hope everyone can understand the direction. I have writen
the on the pictures.

Note : You can make the tail area narrower by making the fold deeper.
You can also applique them in a random display on a large background instead of doing the sereate blocks.

great idea.

How cute! I've never seen that before.

Yhank you, gorgeous. Now to find some beautiful (old) hankies.

I hope it is undertsandable. This is my first time for directions & pics.
I was very nervous about it & hoping it was clear as how to do it.
Enjoy & hope to see some ! :-)

clever lady, thanks

Thank you, I have been collecting my hankies to do this one day.

Me too. :mrgreen:

great tute

Another tutorial added to my favorites. Thank you :)

Great Idea!! Can't wait to try it, and the instructions are very understandable.

What an awesome idea, I might have to give this a try! Thanks

Cute, cute1 thanks for the instructions. I have Moms and MIL's old hankies- someday, I'm gonna do something with them!!!

I have been all over the internet trying to find this very thing. Thank you, thank you. I have a collection of MIL and grandmother hankies that I want to turn into a quilt for my SIL with enough for me, too. You were an answer to an unfruitful search. Thank you.

Thanks so much for this tute. I plan to use it.

Cute idea! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, sounds like a good plan. I'll give it a try.

Thank you!
I have been saving hankies just for this. After all the steps are done, do you embroider the antenna on?
thanks again
Linda

Yes , I did embroidery after I appliqued them to the block.

Thanks on my list to do!!

thanks for that. more people have been needing instructions on how to fold them. i have some handkies i want to do something with too.

I am happy to help. I know there is a different one, but have not figured out how to fold. The one I did was the only I had seen years ago.

Lab55, Thank you so much for this tute...I have hankies that were my mom's who passed away in Sept."09.I have been searching for a pattern to put them into a quilt. So easy to understand...great job.

P.S. Do you have pic of the finished quilt...if so I would love to see it.

I have WIP that is a small (48 x 48 inch ). I did post it last week. I only used 5 blocks on point.

thank you I have tons of old hankies and want to do this.

I am keeping track of this as I have a lot of old hankies (from Grandmothers) and want to do this

I have a feeling there are going to be some butterlfy handkerchief blocks in the making! This is so simple and what a wonderful idea. I know what I can do with all those beautiful hankies I inherited from my mother.

Very good directions.. I made a wall hanging for a friend with her Mom's hankies and she just loved it. It was fun so now I want to make some for my sister-in-law with my mother-in-laws hankies.

Very neat idea, I do not use hankies but got one from a special friend when my daughter go married. Now I know how I can use it.

Thanks

thank you so much!

I love this idea.

I have a done two butterfly quilts. I will have to get you the pictures of the ones that I have done.

I've been buying up old hankies for quite some time - have around 200 or more right now - so thank you for the tutorial in how to make the butterfly to use them in such a striking design! i can't wait to get at it - wonderful!

Thank you so much for this tutorial :D:D:D

Thank you so much. My mama's handkerchiefs are dear to me and this would be a great way to show them off.

Thanks so much -- I have loads of hankies and looking for ideas. did you hand applique all layers down?

I hand appliqued the butterfly to the background block, I also did along the "body" on both sides to the block.

Very pretty! Thank you!

do you have to hand stitch it down instead of machine ?

What can I say except Thank You Thank You!!!

Great Job!!
