I will call this my Bessie Bonnet quilt because I didn't copy the pattern exactly. The design started in the 1800s because of an author who wrote about sunbonnet babies. The pictures never showed the childrens faces. In 1902 another author E. Grover wrote The Sunbonnet Babies Primer that was used in school to teach children to read. Now the pattern is mainly called sunbonnet sue.
I cut these out yesterday. This will be my first applique quilt so I will probably make it a small lap blanket.
I also cut out a boy and a bird.


Its cute.
