Carole brought two of her beautiful hanky quilts made from hankies from the 40's and 50's. This quilt was made from hankies that came from the estate of J.H. Forbes who was from right here on Collings Ave. in Collingswood. Carole bought the hankies from an antique store in Haddonfield. The hankies are sewn together by hand. They are backed by muslin and batting. Then they are finished off with a back piece just like a regular quilt. One of the neat thing about these hankies was that folded inside of a number of them, Carole found cards saying who Mrs. Forbes had received that hankie from. The hankies in this quilt are probably from the 1950's. This was determined by their size. The smaller hankies are usually from the 194o's.
