Sunbonnet Sue Quilt
I made this quilt for
a friend of mine. I had bought a book with the pattern in it, from Joann’s
Fabrics. Sunbonnet Sue is a pretty easy pattern to find. You can find
it in any quilt or fabric store. It is also an easy pattern to start
with.
I scanned the pattern and imported it into
Funtime and then vectorized the file. From there I was then able to cut my
pattern pieces with my Gazelle. I did not need to resize the pattern
or make any adjustments since the pattern was the size I
wanted.
On the back of every piece of fabric I iron a
piece of Pellon to the back side of the fabric. This makes it easier to
cut the fabric with my Bosskut Gazelle. It also helps hold your fabric
pieces in place while you applique the pieces to your quilt
block.
Once you have your
pieces cut, the next step is to layer your pieces on your quilt block. Once, you
get your pieces where you want them, you can then iron them in place. I then
machine appliqued the pieces in place. Below is the end result.

Thank you for looking!

ReplyDeleteI love quilts also. I am sleeping under a quilt that my grandmother made in the 50's. It is a flower garden. I think of her every night when I cover up with it.Making quilts is making memories. She passed away a long time ago but she is still with me as I snuggle under that quilt. I remember her hands as she sewed. She pieced and quilted everything by hand. She had quilting frames set up in the extra bedroom upstairs. It was kind of cold up there in the winter and really hot in the summer but she quilted a little every day.
