Mod Bee May - Modern Sunbonnet Sue

Mod Bee 3 - May Block for E
Here is my May block for E. She requested a modern Sunbonnet Sue. Never appliqued before so was a little apprehensive... but after watching a couple tutorials on youtube things fell into place. Good excuse to break out the MistyFuse I scored at Quilters Take Manhattan last year!
I came across The Sun Sets on Sunbonnet Sue while browsing around for inspiration (randomly found it here in a book called Feminist messages: coding in women's folk culture). I was really tickled by the whole thing and showed the excerpt & subversive quilt to my boyfriend. We started bouncing ideas around for what my block should be. He said that Sue looked like Kenny from South Park in that quilt. Then he mentioned Darth Vader and I ran with it.

May 2013 Bee Block for E - A Modern Sunbonnet Sue
My take on a modern Sunbonnet Sue for E.
I've written more about how I made the block (a simple sort of tute) over at my blog made by ChrissieD if you want to take a look :)
