A beautiful appliqued Sun Bonnet Sue quilt from the 1930 to 1940 period. It measures 58 x 73". The blocks are 10.5" square in size with 3" laterals. The quilt is hand pieced and hand quilted with 12 -14 stitches per inch in a clam shell pattern. The backing is the same blue fabric as shown in the laterals and the binding and it has a cotton batting. Whoever made this quilt obviously ran out of the blue fabric when making the backing as there are 2 slightly different colors of blue used for the backing. There is also some slight fading to the different backing fabric.
