I saw fabric for the Hungry Caterpilllar quilt about a year ago at a quilt shop when we were up north at a quilt store in Grayling,MI. I loved the colors but thought I should wait and it would be a project for the next grandbaby whenever that may come. Well that Labor day our son and his wife announced they were expecting in March. So Monday, I called the quilt store to see if the kit was still available but all they had was a new one callled Brown Bear. So the hunt began. Several quilt stores later I found the material I needed.. now the question was how do I want to make it.. I did a search online and found a pattern thinking it was a "baby" size quilt. Well it was a bit bigger, allmost twin size when I was finished. Oh well I loved the bright colors and so did my son and daughter in law and ava Grace does too. I hope I can do this right. :)

It's great! It will make a perfect bedspread when she moves into a toddler bed.

That is beautiful. I am making my DD the brown bear one for when she has a baby. (None in sight yet) and she wants the one you made too. Great job.

Your quilt is adorable! I love that fabric collection too. You'll have to make reading that book with your granddaughter a tradition. My kids loved that book over, and over, and over!
