Sun Bonnet Sue Progress Report

I am making good progress on the Sun Bonnet Sue quilt that I'm rebuilding for a friend.  Her grandmother made it for her daughter when she was born. It was almost all in shreds except for a few of the sun bonnet sue girls that could be saved.  I cut them out and saved what I could.  My friend and I purchased new pink and off-white muslin as close to the original as we could find.  After working the sun bonnet sue repairs and piecing the top, I started hand stitching in the center of the quilt and am now finishing squares around the edges.  Then I will do the triangles on the edge and bind it.  Close but still no cigar.  


 Have quilt, will travel. Here I am working on the quilt in the closed bar that belongs to a friend.  Dave was helping make repairs and I accompanied him just to have a change of scenery from the inside of the RV.

T-Shirt quilt - University of Maryland Theme

 T-Shirt quilt I made for my daughter with her University of Maryland era T-shirts. I loved doing machine quilting on this and had fun going...
