Sunbonnet Sue Appliqué Mini Quilt or Wall Hanging

First Quilt – Appliqué Sunbonnet Sue

One of the first quilts we ever made was an appliqué sunbonnet Sue little wall hanging.  It was fun to make and very colorful, too.

I am sure if you look closely you will see plenty of errors – so please don’t!  HAHA  Even now, she brings a smile to my face.  This little quilt is hanging on our backdoor – the door out to the garage – so I look at it at least once a day and usually more.

It also has the cutest hangers in the shape of sunbonnet Sue herself!  How cute is that?!  I cannot remember where we got the hangers, and it has been so long that I am sure they aren’t sold any longer.  We actually sewed it to the wall hanging.

This does make me want to start/make another quilt or wall hanging like this (not that I need to add anything to our project list).  The original pattern from the mid-80s was printed by the Little Quilt Collection and is called Friends.  I also found this free pattern in a Google search, that gives credit to the original artist:

Does it peak your interest and make you want to go in search of some 30s fabrics to make your own little wall hanging or even a bigger quilt?  I told Sue that I would be willing to add this to appliqué list.  I am almost finished with the second alphabet for the ABCs quilt number two, after all.  ~smile~
