How to quilt a Sun Bonnet Sue
 

I have an applique Sun Bonnet Sew that is ready for quilting..How would you quilt it...[ATTACH=CONFIG]552142[/ATTACH]

Meander behind the dolls, ribbon candy in the sashing, small vine in the sashing.

I'd do a crosshatch around the dolls, a heart version of ribbon candy (right side up, upside down) in the sashing & either flowers or balloons in the border.

btw -- love your Sunbonnets! very cute!

I love the Board!!! you have such great ideas and it inspires me...Thank you

balloons in the boarder for sure.

I have always quilted this quilt the traditional way, outlining the Sues (her hat, arm, shoes and items she's holding) and crosshatching the background.

Sun Bonnet Sue Quilting
 

Here is a picture of my Sun Bonnet Sue that I just finished. I did SITD on the sashing strips and then I did hand stitching around the applique. I used Warm & Natural so I didn't have to do a lot of stitching.

How about baptist fan..in the background and smashing..ditch around sue

no ideas but really love your quilt! Any chance for a larger closeup of it?

Love all these Sues"
