Last year I made this quilt for a costumer's daughter. ::Blogged here:: I only used half of the Sunbonnet Sue blocks that her grandmother had made but never did anything with. She is expecting another little girl...well, a little girl and a little boy....so she wanted me to make another quilt with the remaining Sunbonnet Sue blocks.
I used some Amy Butler Soul Blossoms. I really love this fabric and have since bought some for me! The six Sunbonnet Sues that I had were not big enough for a good sized quilt so I added the borders to the top and bottom. It is the perfect size, but of course the quilt is delivered and I didn't take the measurements! Just know it's good sized for snuggling up.
I hope she likes it. I tried to make the traditional blocks much more modern and current with the wonderful fabric! I FMQ in my basic stippling. However, I outlined the stars and girls and then I didn't quilt over those so they stand out. When it washed it had that perfect amount of crinkle. I think it turned out really good. I hope she likes it!
