Here is the handkerchief I bought. It is part of series. The series is shown at the "Air Travel" post at http://handkerchiefheroes.com/air-travel/. Now I want them all! There is a cubist feel to the design. Each hanky features a different country with two people with instruments.
Many years ago I found this Swissair hanky for about a quarter at a flea market.
Souvenir handkerchiefs abounded. Designers like Tammis Keefe did series for major cities. Here are some other hankies in my collection originally purchased to remember a special trip or place.

I think that first hanky would be great fun to interpret in appliqué! I found your blog today by googling "Cheever quilt". Have you published the Jane Austin pattern yet? Have you designed any more such patterns? I really encourage you to do so! Karen of Quilt History Reports
