Quilt in a Day Forums

I was wondering if any one knows the name of a pattern that almost like the sue bonnet girls but, their hats flair out to the side and up. My mother in law talks about them but, doesn't know the name or can't remember them. I like to find them and maybe I can get her to start to sew. I thank you for your help.

You may want to try www.straw.com/equilters. Down about 1/3 of the way down the page you will see - Index of Articles by Topic Here. You will find listed 14 Sunbonnet Sue Quilt patterns and the ones that are from the 30's a different then today's are. Good Luck, Pam

Could it be Holly Hobby?

El has a wonderful pattern for Sue (& Sam) and thanks to Pam I just saw El's "Wake up Little Susie" quilt that was at Houston in 2000:

I googled Holly Hobby and sure enough I am sure that is what your mom is talking about. I had forgotten about these adorable little girls.

I sent mom these links and she can look at them and deside if thats what she was wanting. I thank you for your help.

I have several yards of Holly Hobbie fabric from the 1970s...how could that happen?

Better Homes & Gardens has a 501 quilt block book that is all 4" squares. They have the sunbonnets in there.

Ifound a sunbonnet sue you may be looking for in The Quilter 2004.
I have a copy of the pattern however I do not know how to post on forum.
