There is actually a pattern on e-quilter.com if you want. Shows the folding and the quilting in addition to everything else.

I have been looking for a hanky quilt like this. I have several of my husbands grandma's hankys and I didn't want to cut any of them up. Is this a pattern? I just love it....

I went to a garage sale 4 years ago, and I bought a whole box of antique Grandma's hankies. Most were in good condition, but I wasn't sure what to do with them. I actually wanted to incorporate them into a quilt, but didn't know how. Wow!!! What a great idea you have given me. I got one of my hankies out, and folded it just like you did, and it looked just like your butterflies!!! I use silk thread to applique, and because these hankies are so delicate, silk will be perfect. I don't know if you have instructions, but I'm going to try and copy your idea and make a beautiful wall hanging! Thank you so much for sharing your project, my hankies won't be sitting in the bottom of my plastic bin anymore!!

I am so glad I could inspire you.. I didn't want my grandmothers hankies to just be forgotten in the bottom of a drawer...

oops.. and................ i just made my white background squares a bit bigger.. maybe 1" around the spread of the wings.. I just added sashing and bordered it out.. a long arm quilter did spiral swirls around all the butterflies so that there looks like there is movement in the squares.. i would love to see yours when you are done. save my email addy and send me a pic! c-colleen@sbcglobal.net
