That is a really nice pattern. Hope you are able to get it finished and if you do, please post a picture for us to see. Great find.

Have a Sunbonnet Sue book that has that pattern. She is holding an umbrella though and she is called the Umbrealla girl.

Thanks to everyone. Baloonatic I would be hunting down that low down person that stole your quilt.

I think my book calls them Colonial ladies. Be sure to finish and post! Looks like a wonderful project!
