"Sunbonnet Sue" from Janet with help from her grandmother

Janet inherited these blocks from her grandmother who probably pieced them in the 1930's  All of the girls are outlines in black thread, done by hand, and then each bonnet has hand embroidered flowers and ribbons


Janet set them all with reproduction prints in the sashing and borders and then turned me loose for quilting.  I did a simple feather in the outer border, SID around all of the girls and then a meander in the background, just something to hold them down, and let the girls shine.
