Here are three I am kind of currently working on....
Just have four more blocks, then borders, for the Sister's Choice, from Quiltville.com. Way smaller than the one Bonnie did, but I'm still way too intimated by the quilting part of doing a bigger one! ~ all sewn together except for the far right row down, and bottom across row not in picture. I want to try FMQ on this, will be first time, except for two doll quilts....
The Sunbonnet Sue is too narrow. I'm thinking of adding another bit wider border? Opinions?
And the quilty ladies, I had just bought 1/2 yd when I was in Fields Fabrics awhile ago, just caused I liked it, with no plan. Next time I'm there, I've got to grab a bit more of it. lol!!!

I like them all, so you are doing well. The Sunbonnet Sue I think would look better proportioned if you could add another row of Sues, i.e. 4 blocks x 6 blocks, but you might not want to do all that extra work.

Thank you Joyce, Quiltincrazy, & Ninnie!!! :-)
I think I just realized why I didn't add another row - do you notice I have two Sue's going in the other direction? I'd have to make a couple more rows, with a couple more opposite direction, otherwise it would look weird?
Sue might stay in the WIP pile a bit longer..... lol!!!!! :wink:
