Some good ideas, friends! Thank you. I'm really liking the Grandmother's Fan idea. Might make a great small wall hanging.

The thing I can't stand about SBS is the big stupid hat in lieu of a face! It's always bugged me, like a cheap way out to depict a person without a face. I don't like faceless Amish dolls either. The "person" is in the face.

Yes, I can tend to overthink things!

Sewbizgirl - I'm with you on the SBS quilt, although I do have a SBS book that I've tried to pass along to quilting friends to no avail. It's yours if you change your mind

Sorry but, I love Sunbonnet Sue. I love her bonnet and a face would not look good on her. Faces would and are hard to make for us people that can't make them. I would be lucky to have them.

My 1st thought would be to try to sell, then I thought - HEARTS... Would be soooo cute cut in hearts & appliqued to light background block...

It is great to start your day off with a laugh! So funny! lol I really like the Sunbonnet Sue quilts but I have never made one. I have a couple books & several single patterns too but seems there is just so many others that get in the way. Someday though!

I think you would get the most out of the fabric by cutting wedges. You should be able to get 3 per dress. Please post a pic of what you decide to use them for.
