    I have 2 patterns (1 for the 3 panel and 1 for the 2 panel) that I copied from the Andover site. Don't know if they are still available. But here's the site www.andoverfabrics.com

    Thank you for this link! I still think I want to do something different, 'quieter', and will experiment with bias tape to make a twig-like link, maybe even with a cocoon, between worm and butterfly. I do have a yard of the busiest dot fabric to work with, too. Thank you for taking the time to look this up for me.

    This looks very much like the one I made my niece for her daughter several years ago. Is it the design that the fabric company put out? As a side note: my niece and her husband have another child now, and the Very Hungry Caterpillar quit shows up in almost every photo of the kids playing! I'm tickled they love it!

    I first saw the busy dot fabric on Amazon, and then the site recommended the 2-panel to coordinate. That is my full experience with this, tho the original book came out when my boys were reading-to age, so maybe I just forgot. All other quilt patterns I have seen for it came thru this blog. I am glad to hear the quilts are such a success.

    SherriB, your quilt is amazing!!!! When my kids were small, this was a favorite book at storytime. Thanks for reminding me about those special moments.

    I am sure whatever you come up with will be cherished. My first thought was some rick rack to wandering path to the butterfly. I do like the idea of the curved flying geese, just have never tried to make those.

    I love what you are doing, the panels are darling, if it were me, I think I would put the catapiller on the top left and the butterfly on the bottom right, it speaks more of a progression. Maybe something flowing between them like your dots maybe shades of color.

    When I make a quilt referring to a book, I give the book with it. The Very Hungry Caterpillar is still available. It has been a HUGE favorite with children for years. My youngest grandson memorized it by the time he was 3, because he had us read it to him so often.
