Q8439 Sunbonnet Sue Crib Quilt
Date- c.1928 Size- 31 ¾ x 45 ½ Location- New Hampshire $475
What a wonderful find! A perfectly scaled down version of a Sunbonnet Sue with a wonderful selection of fabrics from the 1920’s. Each Sue is about 4 ½ by 6 ½ inches, precisely hand appliquéd with black blanket stitching, as was popular at that time. Her little pockets were even fussy cut to take advantage of each fabric’s print. The sashing and border are 2 ¼ inches wide, and match the backing of purple calico. This neat and tidy little quilt in perfect original condition has been pillowcase edged and embellished with black blanket stitching and professionally hand washed by Betsey.
