My husband"s grandmother used to make the sunbonnet Sue, but she put hands on the quilt. I made some too, but always put hands on the quilt. It sure looks odd with no hands on them. Maybe, the person couldn't decide what color
the hands should be, so they left them off. HA HA . I love going to thrift stores, and yard sales. You can find some really nice stuff, you had a good day, and came home with something precious. The quilt might be worth more money because Sue has no hands, I would get it appraised for insurance purposes.
