    You say "Of course sweetie, what colors would you like" Then you dig deep and sew on while planning your next quilt in your head that is NOT a Sunbonnet Sue. Tee-Hee-Hee!

    Sewbizgirl, I am with you abut Sun Bonnet Sue. The only SBS I even look at are the "How many ways to kill Sun Bonnet Sue". Now that is inspiring!!!

    Because you are appliquéing them, you could lay these out in a curved way, switching directions across the quilt top (like a chevron). Because they are stitched on the edges, you could even overlap them a bit to make them fit whatever you decide. Hope I don't miss it when you post the finished quilt. :-)

    I don't care for Sun Bonnet Sue or Sam but I have no idea why. Have fun with your creativity!

    Yep, SBS to me also. I would use them in a dresden or a fan quilt.

    LOL, I don't even like that one. Too vicious. I don't mean to hurt anyone's feelings who love Sue. I just never have.

    I also don't care for Grandmother's Flower Garden. Guess we all have our faves and least faves.

    I think I'll try the wedges and make some Grandmother's Fan blocks. It won't be a whole quilt. I'll be lucky to be able to make a half dozen blocks, or maybe just four!

    I am like you when it comes to Sue, lol. That being said, I am afraid I agree with others that these were meant to be her dresses. I really like the suggestion of cutting them into wedges for a fan pattern. You could also use them cut in half for the petals of a flower/flowers in a wall hanging.
