Oh man had to laugh. There are many people who aren't fond of sunbonnet sue. I happen to be part of that group. My daughter in law is an old soul. Loves sun bonnet sue. Has asked me to make 2 !! Yikes! What is one to say when it's for my 2 darling grand daughters.

Sewbizgirl, I am with you abut Sun Bonnet Sue. The only SBS I even look at are the "How many ways to kill Sun Bonnet Sue". Now that is inspiring!!!
Because you are appliquéing them, you could lay these out in a curved way, switching directions across the quilt top (like a chevron). Because they are stitched on the edges, you could even overlap them a bit to make them fit whatever you decide. Hope I don't miss it when you post the finished quilt. :-)

I also don't care for Grandmother's Flower Garden. Guess we all have our faves and least faves.
I think I'll try the wedges and make some Grandmother's Fan blocks. It won't be a whole quilt. I'll be lucky to be able to make a half dozen blocks, or maybe just four!

I am like you when it comes to Sue, lol. That being said, I am afraid I agree with others that these were meant to be her dresses. I really like the suggestion of cutting them into wedges for a fan pattern. You could also use them cut in half for the petals of a flower/flowers in a wall hanging.
