I made my daughters each a snowman quilt for Christmas a few years ago and I use different color solid or tone on tone fabrics for the blocks and appliqued the snowman designs on them. I then sewed 2 1/2 inch squares of all different scrappy fabrics to border around the blocks. The quilts turned out so nice and I think a Sun Bonnet Sue quilt would look good made like that. I may add that to my to do someday list.
