"That girl with the bonnet", Sunbonnet Sue,- the
Sunbonnet Sue block is one of the most widely recognized quilt block patterns.
You'll find the block made into nursery
quilts, appliquéd onto clothing and decorated with ribbons and lace. The
Sue figure has been depicted working, playing, and getting into mischief.
The Sue block has even given rise to
Sunbonnet themed quilts. Sue is eliminated in "the Death of Sunbonnet Sue"
or celebrated in "Sunbonnet Sue comes of age".
The design of a playful girl with a big
bonnet can be traced back to illustrators who worked in the late 1800s and early
20th century.
The first of these is Kate Greenaway.
