I'm 77 and my Grandmother called it the Little Dutch Girl pattern.
Lots of patterns change their names from one state to another, especially during the 1800s, as women came west and never saw their home states again, only heard from family through letters.

Have never made a SB quilt, probably never will, but would some of these people with their warped sense of humor like it if someone who did not like animals, (or even some people) make a quilt with them replacing SB be as funny? I think it is a sad commentary on the human race when torture, killing, etc. is considered funny, even if it is applied to a fictional character.

I have a SBS quilt my mother-in-law made as her first quilt at the age of 10 or 12. That would have been 1931 - 1933 somewhere in there. When I first displayed it in my home she could only point out the mistakes she had made in the making of it. Poor thing! I love having her first effort in my home. She died in 1996, but her work lives on.
