I have a book of Sunbonnet Sue applique patterns. There is one in this book that has a small angel -- I used white cotton eyelet (pre-gathered ) for the angel's wings! Of course, I did a crib sized quilt, and had to increase the pattern size and doubled the number of blocks I put in the quilt! It really turned out good -- I hand-quilted it, too -- my first ever quilt! I made it for my niece's daughter and it was rather special because I used fabrics from three generations, my mother, my grandmother and me! My niece will always treasure that quilt! And, because I'm still a rank amateur, I was surprised it turned out as well as it did!

Good quilting on this one! The grandchildren (and nieces, nephews, etc.) are precious!
