Dress Quilt

What do you call the quilt with little girls in dresses or little boys fishing on it?
I have a quilt with little boys carrying poles on it and my sister has one with girls in dresses. I’ve seen lots of these around and I want to make one. Does any one know a name for these quilts, or how to make them?
Sunbonnet Sue is the girl. I’ve heard the boy as Overall Bill and Overall Sam.
The idea of the children is that by changing the posing of the clothing and with no face, you can change the activity of the girl or boy.
I’ve seen them posed for running (arms up, feet in a running position), bending down, looking up, you name it! The children are always darling.
Here are some links with patterns and explanations:

A small cult of quilters have found great delight in these sunbonnet blocks, about a bad girl:
