Description

This lot features two unfinished hand-worked quilt tops showcasing traditional mid-20th-century American applique techniques. The first piece is a Sunbonnet Sue pattern quilt top. It is constructed from cotton or cotton-blend fabrics, featuring light green square blocks each embellished with a hand-appliqued figure of a girl in a bonnet. The figures are dressed in pink and yellow garments with small red floral accents, attached using a decorative black hand-stitched blanket stitch.
