Product Details

Quilting has a rich history as a practical craft and an art form, evolving from simple patchwork to intricate designs. The "Sunbonnet Sue" pattern, created by Bertha Corbett in the 1920s, became immensely popular for its charming depiction of a young girl, often with her face obscured by her bonnet. These blocks were frequently used in children's quilts and were a staple in many American homes. This particular quilt appears to be a collection of "Sunbonnet Sue" or similar "bonnet girl" blocks, hand-embroidered and set within a cheerful yellow floral fabric. The blue binding and border suggest a finished piece, likely made for a child or as a decorative item. The craftsmanship, while appearing to be homemade, is a key factor in its collectible appeal, representing a tangible piece of domestic history.36x 44 ish
