This charming small quilt features four individual panels, each depicting a classic Sunbonnet Sue character rendered in unique, patterned fabrics. The figures are hand-appliquéd and hand-embroidered, capturing a traditional style beloved by collectors. The background blocks are bordered by bright green sashing and a soft yellow binding. The quilt shows careful craftsmanship in the quilting, which follows a diamond grid pattern.
Approximate dimensions, as shown by the measuring tape, are 22 inches by 27 inches, making this piece suitable as a display textile or lap quilt. There are minor signs of age, including light staining and some discoloration visible on close inspection.
Notably, the reverse bears a handwritten note reading “8 o’clock,” adding a personal and potentially unique provenance to the piece. This quilt is illustrative of American patchwork traditions and folk art needlework.
