They are definitely Sunbonnet Sue dresses. I made one for my great-niece, sewn from fabric from my grandmother's stash, my mother's stash and mine, as well as some I bought. The quilt turned out extremely well --it was my first ever quilt. We all have different tastes and that's just great -- we don't all want to be exactly alike. But the prints are wonderful -- you can barely find a print like that any more. I have no plans to make another -- I've just finished two baby boy quilts using patterns from Overall Bill, Farmer Sam (or Bill), and they're beautiful. I would be interested in what you decide to do with these. As for faces -- only if you can get a pattern and instructions to follow -- my former hobby was doing ceramics and the faces, eyes,noses and all are very difficult to draw or embroidery, or whatever. If I had to draw faces, I think I'd do a different quilt!
