A Sun Bonnet girl created by Devona Abbott (1914-1999) when she was about twelve. When Devona was fourteen, she sewed the Sun Bonnet girls into a quilt with the help of her mother and grandmother. When Solinda Knight Christofferson, her descendant, received the quilt, she cut the Sun Bonnet girls out to preserve them and gave one to the museum. Nineteen Sun Bonnet girls remain from what was left of the original quilt.
