| There is a lovely letter written on this quilt, and then quilted in. I've taken a photo of it, and included it below, so I hope you can read it. In a nutshell, Val made this quilt out of hankies from her grandmother and mother, as well as a few of her own. |

| All the hankies were fused to the background fabric, and grouped together in clusters of 4 "blocks". Sashing strips to match the border around each block of hankies. |
My maternal grandmother taught me that "a lady always carries a hankie", so I've usually got one with me. From the letter, it sounds as though Val' and her relatives were of the same mind.
Edges crocheted by mom or family friends. What a lovely memento. This will go on her guest bed.
Quilted with the "Feathers" panto in a soft white thread.
