Our block for the first two weeks of February will be a Sunbonnet Sue block.
I have found many, many sites for you to look through, for there are many Sues out there. Here's the challenge... after you've picked your Sue you may opt to embellish your block according to what Sue is doing.

http://sunbonnetsue.com/ Click on the "Free Sunbonnet Patterns" - it'll take you here http://sunbonnetsue.com/patterns.html
http://www.quilterscache.com/S/SunbonnetSueBlock.html
http://qnm.com/articles/feature12/ An article about Sue's history with some neat quilt pictures included.
http://www.crystalpalaceyarns.com/equilters/library/gallery/SSue/SunBonnetSueGallery.html Some Sunbonnet quilt pictures.

http://www.frommarti.com/qnn.html Sue and Bill patterns

I am also including a site for "Bad Sue". You might get some "additional ideas" from this site. :mrgreen:

The last site posted is for paper folding but I think it ought to work with folded fabric also.

I made this Sue for our Aunt and Uncle's quilt. We were using reproduction fabrics. She's rather boring just standing there doing nothing, don't you think?
