Post vintage hankey quilt
It took me over 10 years to collect enough hankeys to make this. My wife, the quilter, was kind enough to assemble this for me.
Enjoy!

That could be the coolest thing ever. Even better that you put so much time in accumulating the pieces for it. That's really awesome.

Too cool. I always wondered what someone who bought these could do with them (other than blow your nose).

I've got friends and family in Cleavland... I'm going to have to ask you to start a Bed & Breakfast just so I can stay in that very room next I'm in town.

Nice work, and the fact that it was a family affair makes it even cooler!

Wow! Great idea, and what an awesome practical application to enjoy your collection every day. So many nice hankys there. Some personal favourites are the collage of Ultraman Ace kaiju, Dustman, and Astroboy :) With the few I have picked up, maybe I could only achieve a small pillowcase.

^^ Completely agree!

Mark, this is amazing! I'm thinking post of the year! ;)

Tell your wife that there's a whole host of jaw-dropped nerds across the internet who're totally impressed with this quilt. If I had this thing, I'd be torn as to whether I'd want to hang it on a wall or actually sleep with it!

Mark, that is completely awesome. I think you should open up your home as sort of a kaiju bed & breakfast- sleep with that quilt, wake up and peruse the toy collection....
