The Very Hungry Caterpillar Quilt

Hello everyone. It's complete! I pieced this quilt last school holidays and then sent it away to be professionally quilted by Michelle Hawley. It's been in a bag for a term until this week when I had some time to complete the binding. I just love it!

Eric Carle has been a favourite of mine for such a long time. I hold dear memories of his stories and his art in both  professional and personal levels. I was fortunate that Michelle who quilted my quilt had a quilting pattern that was perfect. It's of butterflies and caterpillars. If you look closely at some of the photos, you should see the design.

Here are some close ups....

And here is a photo of the entire quilt...

New quilt on the way

I have been a fan of Eric Carle for many years. As a teacher, I can see why his works are classics. They still have an appeal to children today (an adults too)! I have been collecting Eric Carle fabric for a while and have decided it's time to use them in a quilt.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar has got to be one of my all time favourite childrens books. As I am now on school holidays, I will have time to sew. Am starting on the design today. Stop by later on when its completed.

Thanks for stopping by!
