My Quilt Entry for the Bloggers Quilt Festival

I am so excited to share a quilt for Amy's Bloggers Quilt Festival.

You can visit her blog and look at all the awesome quilts that she has this spring!  

I have blogged about my Little Girl Quilt Before.   

I'm not sure that I really told everyone about how I made it. 

I'm the most proud of this quilt because it's an original.  After making my Indian Girl Quilt I thought of the Sunbonnet Sue Quilt but I wanted to change it.  Not many girls wear bonnets.  I had some scraps left from my Moda Bliss Fat Quarters so I decided to make it.  I first Drew the Little Girl.

After Drawing her I drew the individual pieces. 

I cut out the pattern pieces and traced onto some "Heat and Bond" lite.  I pressed them onto the wrong side of fabric and then pressed them onto my squares of Onasburg fabric.

After these were all finished I sewed trim onto their dresses and shoes and hats.  I finished the applique by sewing a small blanket stitch around each piece.  I embroidered flowers and butterflies on each block. 

This was a "Make Do" Quilt.  I made it for my niece.  My grandma made all of her grandkids a Sunbonnet Sue or a Fisherboy.  She is in her mid 80's now but I felt like my niece needed a quilt like this.  I can see her touching the trim and embroidery and looking at the little girls.

I used my favorite Bliss Print for the backing.

I hope you enjoyed my post and would love any comments and be sure to follow my blog!  I will be having a tutorial soon.
