This is a single cloth quilt with borders I added. It is about 50" x 54" and is based on the children's book, The Hungry Caterpillar. I handquilted (echo) around the pictures and just meandered the rest. I had to work from the back on the meandering because I could not see the thread from the front.

Oh I love it! I was thrilled when they came out with the fabric. That book used to be one of my grandsons favorites.

Great job!

I didn't have enough green border material to finish the binding like I wanted, so I used both border material..I like it...it looks like the caterpillar is eating on the quilt!

OMG, I totally recognized that caterpillar from 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' by Eric Carle... one of my favorite childrens books!
