Sunbonnet Sue – 1992

I wanted to make a special quilt for a friend’s new baby, a little girl, and Sunbonnet Sue seemed to be the best choice.  I started this quilt in September 1991 and finished it in June 1992.

Each Sue is dressed in a different fabric and there’s a bit of lace either at the bottom of the apron or dress.  This quilt is hand appliqued, machine pieced and hand quilted.  I quilted a cross hatch pattern within each block and

hearts with lines in the sashings and borders.  There’s a darker square with a white heart appliqued in it in each corner and where the sashings meet in the quilt.   For this quilt, I followed a pattern in “Sunbonnet Sue’s Neighborhood” by Oxmoor House.
