I love this quilt. My sister gave me a bag full of my Mom's and Grandma's hankies. Now I know what to do with them. Thank you for the tutorial. Awesome!
Beth, this is such a lovely quilt top using the vintage handkerchiefs. Your decision to sew each different sized hankie to a specific sized neutral background block brings a uniformity to the top. The eye sees a balance that is pleasing. A great idea. What a wonderful way to showcase pieces of history. Thank you for finding a creative method to save them and reuse them to be admired again years later. Each hankie is so delicately patterned like a piece of artwork. The best moment came when you added your finishing touch of the little cornerstone appliqued blocks placed on point. This was the moment when you turned what was quite a lovely top into something really exquisite. The hand stitched applique met the modern machine stitches and blended beautifully. These little blocks of vintage style fabric set off the vintage hankies in a remarkable way, somehow softening and at the same time coordinating, the larger blocks. What a terrific job you have done. Simply beautiful!
Gorgeous, Beth. I can just imagine your handkerchief quilt spread on an iron bed in an old farmhouse, sheer curtains fluttering in the breeze. Just lovely
I agree, I thought the quilt was beautiful but then you added the corner stones and it became outstanding! I can’t wait to see how you quilt it, please post a video of that.
Oh, my Goodness, Beth!!!! How many of us have hairloom handkerchiefs that we absolutely love! *You are genius* (along with your friend who promted you)! Thank you so much!!!!
I have done this with gifted handkerchiefs from friends and family. You can also use dollies. Your quilt is beautiful. I love the squares at the corners.
I don't think I have enough to make a quilt top this big (using what handkerchiefs I still own). Most of mine are well used. Your quilt turned out very interesting and beautiful A new handkerchief was the perfect gift to give a teacher for Christmas when I was a child.. It was easy to fold one and tuck it in the envelope with the Christmas Card. Of course it was Mom who provided the hankerchiefs and cards (she had each of us sign the card, carry it to school, and place it under our classroom's real Christmas Tree for our teacher. I always wondered how many handkerchiefs my teachers owned. Everyone carried a handkerchief back then; because, there was no such thing as boxed tissues at that time. One of my favorite games, on the playground, was "Drop the Hankie." We were poor county children; but, everyone carried a hankie.
This is a great idea. I have many vintage handkerchiefs that my Aunt sent to me. Most were her Mother's, born before 1900. Now I know what to do with them. Thanks Beth, you are so creative, I love watching. Take care.
Wow, Such memories could be conjured up. Great job with such delicate hankies. LOL...I sew barefoot too. How do you turn out so many projects? Amazing!
Oh thanks so much for this! I have my dear mother's vintage handkerchiefs. She passed in 2014. Oh how I miss her! Now I know what to do to preserve some of her legacy. blessings!
How lovely! Decades ago I collected lovely old handkerchiefs. I inserted one in sympathy cards I sent. How I wish I still had some to do this project ♥️
Hello Beth, wish you were my next door neighbor. Love how you have so many different ideas for making quilts, etc. please keep making your fun and relaxing 😊videos!
Thank you for showing your process! I have some handkerchiefs that are not practical to use for their intended purpose, but are too beautiful to throw out. This was just the inspiration I needed. 😊
Beth, this actually moved me to tears. I ordered some from Amazon and can't wait to get my hands on them. This will be a treasured heirloom for generations. I just love your work. God bless.
So, if one can do handkerchiefs, one should be able to do scarves as well...thinking outloud...Thank you so much for your videos and you, you are a beautiful soul!
I wish you lived close to me here in Moore, Oklahoma to teach me in person how to make quilts. I have such a desire to learn but I’m a hands on and in person kind of gal. I watch most of your Vedic’s here on UA-cam, you have such a back of teaching. Thank you so much for sharing your talent. Joyan. 💕
Thank you for sharing your video, I’ve had my Mothers and Aunts, as well as my own vintage hankies for a long time, and was wondering how to quilt them! A lovely idea with the corner stones. Your quilt looks beautiful 💐
Beth, Omgoodness that is beautiful!!! It is amazing how much the “corner stones” if you will made it so much different. I’m so excited to see the finishing. Thank You So Much ❤️😀
The on-point cornerstones at the quilt block intersections adds a very nice element to your quilt top! I've always loved delicate women's handkerchiefs, but other than framing them, didn't know what to do with them. Great project, Beth!
What a great idea. My Mom is giving me some of her old handkerchiefs from when she was young. I need to pick them up and see if I have enough to do something similar. Thanks for the great ideas and videos. I appreciate it!!
I went to Amazon and bought some handkerchiefs haven’t done the quilt yet but it’s going to be done! Thank you so much ! I love watching you!You amaze me ty
I love vintage hankies and have lots of them collected. Some i used to make lavender sachets and others into little baby burp cloths with flannel backing. I can’t wait to see how you quilt your stunning creation!
Hi Beth :-)) I love this quilt!! I inherited some hankies from my great grandma and have had them tucked away for a long time…I have maybe 6 will have to come up with something else to go along with these..but have definitely been inspired to start the process 💕
Here’s a way to use fewer. I made a quilt with Lori Holt on one side for my mother’s 80th last year. The back side had a strip inserted vertically and I put a long panel of appliquéd hankies down the back. The hankies were from her mother and grandmother. She loves the hankies and dedication so much that it is the side she keeps upward on the bed so she can see them. The fabric I used on back for each side panel was Lori Holt’s hankie fabric. So fun to see Beth use the same method for a front, however the diamond cornerstones add so much!
I love this! I have some vintage "hankies" that were my mom's. They are well over 50 years old. So, this will be a soon to make project. As I am already 70 years old and my children don't seem to want much of my antiques or crafting things, I need to use some of my stuff for useable items. I know they like and need bedding... I'll just make this. Thank you for sharing your ideas. Blessings to y'all.
I have so many old handkerchief that came from my grandmother, mother, and some from flea markets. This is a wonderful idea to take them out of hiding and display them. Thank you!💖
Beth I love this quilt, it's so pretty, I liked how you added the cornerstones in the intersections of each handkerchief. This should really look even more beautiful when finished. Hopefully you will give us a look at it when you're finished? Thanks for this tutorial. And the information to purchase handkerchiefs off of Amazon. I'm going to look into that and consider making a quilt. like this for myself Thanks again.
Beth thank you so much, for the tutorial, it is what I had in mind. since talking with you the other day, regarding a handkerchief quilt, I have taken the time to look at all kinds of other quilt done with handkerchiefs, and they are beautiful. I love what you did with the handkerchiefs on white cotton I'm going to put mine on off white muslin. That little round presser foot you used is really cool I have to find one. I will let you know how it turns out, thank you for all your help and expertise.
I should also say I am doing a memory handkerchief quilt for my nephew, whose mother passed away a few years ago, and these hankies, I have, were hers.
Thank you so much! Have saved lots of Mom & Grandma's hankies to make a quilt but never had an easy/simplified way until your tutorial! Now I have a plan & a pattern! ❤️
I love this quilt. My sister gave me a bag full of my Mom's and Grandma's hankies. Now I know what to do with them. Thank you for the tutorial. Awesome!

I agree, I thought the quilt was beautiful but then you added the corner stones and it became outstanding!

Check thrift stores for gently used hankies.
Wow! What a beautiful quilt top! Will you be showing us how you quilt it? I would love to see that 🥰
This is a great idea. I have many vintage handkerchiefs that my Aunt sent to me. Most were her Mother's, born before 1900. Now I know what to do with them. Thanks Beth, you are so creative, I love watching. Take care.

The handkerchief quilt came out beautiful
Oh thanks so much for this! I have my dear mother's vintage handkerchiefs. She passed in 2014. Oh how I miss her! Now I know what to do to preserve some of her legacy. blessings!
Your cornerstones really set the quilt top off. Very nice.
Oh Beth that is beautiful. 💚💚💚
The diamond's appliqued where the seams come together really made a big difference. Great idea! (As usual!)
I do so agree
Also, I love the way you added the cornerstones, it does give it a different look. Thank you again
That is really nice
Its beautiful!! Gives me ideas for my stash of hankies
This is a keeper!!!

Those are some pretty hankies. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished quilt. I think it will be very cottage chic. 🥰
Like your added those squares after the top was done, to look like cornerstones in the sashing. Very clever. Love it. ❤️🇦🇺
Beth, this actually moved me to tears. I ordered some from Amazon and can't wait to get my hands on them. This will be a treasured heirloom for generations. I just love your work. God bless.
