OH MY!
I have been a busy beaver all day, trying to get everything put back in place after 54 guests here for the 4th. I come back to find all these wonderful comments. You really make a person feel appreciated---thank you!

Sissy went into a "big girl " bed for her 3rd birthday. She is the best "mommy"--4 of her doll babies live here at our home (for us to play with, of course! :mrgreen: )

The book is "The Ultimate Sunbonnet Sue Collection" by Leisure Arts. I believe I bought this one on Amazon.com I did tweak some of the patterns. For example, the one with an umbrella had no bonnet, the umbrella was jammed down on her shoulders. I re-drafted it to include a bonnet.

All of the blocks are needleturn applique. The accents are embroidered.
I used all 1930 Repos.

Now, I must quilt my fingers off to get it done for her. (We are blessed to have 7 G-Grans. Sissy is our youngest one.)

BTW, please don't say that your Sunbonnets are not good. There is no such thing as a bad Sunbonnet (except those that kill them off) You just used a different technique than I did. In case you don't guess, I still love Sunbonnet Sue at my age!!!

Thank you again for your kind words!

I can see why she wants the quilt now! It's wonderful. WHich one is her favorite??

Thank you for the info.

I love it. I have the same book. After seeing yours I cant wait to start mine. Soooooo Prettty!

I LOVE this... I really want to do a Sun Bonnet Sue quilt - I'm working on a redwork one - want to do an applique one too... like I said before - so many patterns, so little time... maybe one day...

OH! I would love to do this ! She is so hard to do ! I STILL do not have the rounded edges down ! Such nice work!

I love Sun Bonnet Sue quilts!

That is absolutely adorable.

THAT IS BEAUTIFUL..... Ya know, that would look good on my bed lol
so where did you find all the sbs's?

THANK YOU---all of you! You encourage me greatly.

Bev, the blocks are from the book The Ultimate Sunbonnet Sue by Leisure Arts.

I used all 23 of the patterns (there are 24 actually but that one is a big one to go on all 4 corners & I did not use that one.)
This quilt has 30 blocks. I reversed some of the Sues & also tweaked a lot of the patterns.

Another example: There are ice skates on one of the pattern. We live in the desert area of Texas, we have no ice skating here. So, I chose to put roller skates on her. A lot of tweaking, as said previously.

Sissy's favorite blocks are the ones of Sue with her dolls.

Again, I appreciate your kind comments!
