This summer I made an applique Sunbonnet Sue quilt for my 5 year old granddaughter. I did it a little differently as I cut out my pieces, turned them under a scant 1/4 inch and basted them. Then, I machine stitched them to the blocks, one block at a time. I stitched very close to the edge of the pieces. I think it came out very nice. I really enjoyed doing this quilt and would take the pieces of the pattern and baste them in my bed while watching TV. I bought no new material for this as I used up materials I had and some of these materials were leftovers from dresses and such that I had sewed for her!
