<p>Dust jacket notes: "'It is and has been for 90 years the most popular children's pattern.' This is how quilt designer and author Dolores A. Hinson describes the Sunbonnets - pattern figures (often of small children) with large, face-hiding bonnets or straw hats. Quilters have long cherished traditional 'Sunbonnet Sue,' and now they can be introduced (or reintroduced) to her equally appealing brothers and sisters. The Sunbonnets have followed fashions over the years, and the result is a fascinating group of patterns that reflect successive styles in American costume and design. Quilters will find it delightfully difficult to choose from this treasury of Sunbonnet Babies, Dutch Dolls,and Colonial Ladies (and Men). All designs are given as full-sized patterns in a variety of block sizes, and almost all have 12-inch blocks that can be combined in a sampler Sunbonnet quilt. Detailed instructions show quilters how to use the patterns to create beautiful quilts. But these charming figures are as much at home on children's clothing and such items as embroidered linens as they are gracing a quilt. Eight pages of color photogrpahs illustrate some of the ways quilters have found to bring the Sunbonnet Family into their own lives."</p>
