    A tip for anyone interested in appliqueing the "plates" to a background. Sew a running stictch at the edge of each plate knotting the thread at the begiining and leaving long tails at the end. Simply pull the thread a little bit like making a yoyo. The edge of the "plate will gather up a little and the raw edge will turn under slightly. Press it and then you can slip stitch it to your background. I did this on pattern called "Dancing Fans" at Christmas and it worked like a charm. Hope this helps anyone who is intimidated by this pattern. Its not that hard a pattern to do and looks great when completed. Mine had 12 blocks and wide sashing and borders and was big enough for a queen size bed.
    This is a GREAT tip Vicki!

    Ruth, I ahve done all 3 and my favorite is Sun Bonnet Sue. So much opportunity for your own personality to shine through on her. You can add embellishments like rick rack and show her holding ballons with rick rack for string, or rick rack at the bottom of her dress to represent her petticoat or embroidery on the hat band or apron. All kinds of neat possibilities with ole susie q
