Ok ladies and gents....
I put a burgundy sashing around it and I think that was a GREAT idea!
Thanks all who suggested it!

What do you think?

Terri,
This is absolutely fantastic! What a great quilt! you have made an amazing and beautiful work of art and love.

Keep it up, I want to see the finished product.

MJ :lol: :lol:

that looks great..the quilt I'm working on has some sunbonnet Sue's on it
as well!

I really do think the sashing was the answer, you agree?
I'm working on getting 3 more blocks done. Trying to NOT duplicate them, so it's going a bit slow.
But....back to the room I go!

That is perfect, Terri. So far. Now, all you need is for each precious Sue to have her own mini. Just draw one out on some appropriate colored fabric, cut it out, draw on features, and sew that baby onto each square. I can't wait to see the results! :wink: :lol: :wink: :lol: :wink: :lol: :wink:

I thought of maybe putting a couple little kitties on it, but not sure WHAT animals the girls like. They don't have any pets of their own, so I decided against it.

You know what would be better??
If I had Rosie so I could make sure it looked right :wink: :wink: ;) ;)

Terri, you certainly are doing a wonderful job. Can't wait to see if finished.

Thanks Jackie....I'm working on it...

Peeerrrrffffeeeecccctttttt, Knew you would figure out the right answer. What little girl wouldn't love it.

Well...ya'll helped! Couldn't have done it without my Quilting Friends!!

I wish we could all meet somewhere and say hello in person, and then pick each others brains, I think we are good as individuals, but together watch out world!

Don't you just keep going back and looking at the quilt and saying, wow that is neat, I know my daughter and i did when we made the attic window with the dark trim.. so Classy.

Your quilt is so sweet. Colors look PERFECT to me.

I think we all make a great team!
Just look at what I've done! :)

That definitely did the trick! Good job! Hey, just curious......are you still staring at your Geisha fabric? :lol: I am.

Linda D.

Yep...that's on the back burner at the moment.
Trying to get the nerve to cut it.

LOL. That is the first and only piece of fabric that I have ever owned that I have been scared to cut.......I just don't want to mess it up :wink:

Linda D.

I have alot of pieces like that.
Just too pretty to leave in the store and just too pretty to cut.

The burgundy really helps pull your eye inside your window. Great choice!

I love Sunbonnet Sue.
:) Julie

Yep Love it!!!!!But ya know, when I mentioned the sun bonnet kitties, I didnt mean for you to put a real Kitty on there! :shock: :lol: :lol: Looks Great Terri :thumbup:

Going with Monique.... It's puuuuurrrrrrrrfect.
Great job kiddo. I love it. Love the kitty too

That little girl of mine is into EVERYTHING and I do mean EVERYTHING!
She loves to pull the pins out when I'm trying to put them IN a quilt. Naughty girl! But, I love her.....

Ok, here you go.
Now, I just have to finish off the burgandy around it and find something for the border.
The pix aren't all that great, but what do you think?

Terri, its perfect now, I really like the burgundy sashing...great choice!

Hey Terri, that burgundy sashing has made a lovely quilt..... a fantastic quilt!!

Doesn't it make the attic windows work better, well done!! :D

Thanks!
But I have to give most of the thanks to the ones that gave me the suggestions to do the sashing.
Now, to get that finished off and start on the purple one.

What a difference the purple made. It looks perfect!

Looks great Terri - how much more time do you have before you leave? Gotta make me one of the Sun Bonnett/ Sam or Bill quilts. Looks like so much fun.

The Sunbonnet Sue's are going to Japan.
Not to Japanese girls. ;)
That trip will be sometime in August.
Then around Sept/Oct (i think) will be Jakarta.
Then nothing really after that. :(

She was actually trying to bite the button off the Sue. I told you she's naughty!

Ok, I'm off to bed.
Got some things I need to get done in the morning and it's already 3:15am!
Nitey nite!

That did the trick Terri. It looks great! I can see the border being the pink floral in the top row middle Sue. What do you think? Can't wait to see it finished. The little gals will love them!

Terri-I have been out of it lately and have just now read your 2 Sunbonnet Sue threads. What a great quilt you have made! I would never have thought to put the dark sashing around the window blocks. What great ladies we have here to help you with those suggestions. And you picked such a great color. The quilt is just adorable and I know the young lady that gets it will treasure it always. You are a great friend to their mom!

10!!!!! :wink: :wink:

(that was my dancing with the stars judge impersonation) :lol: :lol:

Can hardly wait to see the purple one.

Terri its adorable!!!! No suggestions on the borders for you, but its sooo sweet!! Ya done good kid!! :thumbup:

Thanks all!
I don't have enough of that pink floral on the top to make a border. I got that fabric at Walmart a long while ago. It's nice and soft and I would use it sparingly in different quilts I made. Would love to find more of it, but there is not more :(
Maybe if I look hard enough in my stash, I might fine enough to maybe do a 2" border around the burgundy.

No one has yet to mention the purple one on the last row facing the wrong way. That was done intentionally. I will embroider the other one's name on that one in smaller letters. These 2 little girls are very close and the bond between them is awesome. I hope as they get older, the bond stays that way.

It was funny, I was talking to the mom the other day and she just blurted out...I just realized, you are the SAME age as my mom!
I wanted to reach in and strangle her! lol Yes, she is only 28. (My Lauren will be 27 this year. lol)
But, she's a good friend, sweet girl and a really good mom.
She has no clue I am making these for her girls.

Where you standing up and shouting like Bruno? lol

LOL!! There is just nothing like youth to make you feel old!!! I am sure that she meant it in a great way-like, "you are such a great friend, I never thought about the age difference before!!"

You are a dear to make quilts for her daughters and I know all three of them are going to be very touched by your generosity and thoughtfulness.

She is a great friend. I don't think of her as younger, just that she has a bit more energy than I do. lol

The first one is almost done! Only 3 more sides to do and voila!!
