    I would quilt it. I do a fill around Sue and then SID all of the sashing and borders.

    Love your colors
    Ditto! I made Fishing Freddies for my son. Same thing---stitched in the ditch and outlined the Freddies and his fish. Even made some of the clothes on Freddie matching some of the clothes on the Sues.

    Overall Sam would be a cute idea for the brother. This is not an expert opinion. LOL You did a great job.

    Again I agree...echo quilting around the Sues would make her pop. As for the other young man to make a quilt for...what are his interests? Or...does Sunbonnet Sue have a brother? ;-)

    Leaders and Enders-This is very neat. If you already use a leader and an ender why not create something as you are already using these scrap fabrics. Check these quilts out! Beautiful and the fabric was not wasted and you created an extra quilt while
