New project

A few weeks ago, someone (Polly, I think) posted a link to the Hungry Caterpillar fabric from Andover. This was one of my daughter's favorite books when she was little, so I decided I wanted some for a quilt for her daughter. A nearby LQS carries Andover fabrics, so when I was in a few weeks ago, I asked if they'd be getting it. They said they had the entire line ordered and took my name. Last week they called that it was in, so on Monday I went down and bought enough for quilts for my two youngest granddaughters. I bought the entire line -- the first time I have ever done that and the first time I have ever made a quilt from only one line of fabric. I've already figured out how I'm going to make them. Next week, I'm going to a quilting retreat, so they will be my project for the retreat. Fabric is at

Ah. I remember. That's when we had a high-level and rather creative discussion on what kind of shoes does a caterpillar wear and whether they should match. That was fun. So is the quilt. Polly

That's the same pattern that Andover has on their website. It makes a bigger quilt than I want. I'm using the panel whole, adding a border from the narrower stripe on the stripe print, then a border of 3" squares from the almost-solids, then a border of the wider stripe. I'm using the caterpillar print for the backing and binding with the dots. It should come out to about 44"x62" if my calculations are right -- a nice lap quilt for little ones.
