Hungry Caterpillar Finish
I'm so excited about this quilt. It's bright and cheery, and I love Hungry Caterpillar. Both of my children recognized the caterpillar right away and started "reading" the book on the quilt.
I don't know what it is about baby quilts that always make me resort back to loopy line quilting, but I love how spread out you can make the design. I added hearts and stars to the loopy lines this time around to give it a little more interest:
Now that Ben's quilt is done I'd say he can come at any time, but since I still have 10 weeks until my due date I think it would be better not to jump the gun quite so soon. I suppose I should start actually getting the house cleaned up and ready for his arrival.

How exciting to hear you are expecting! Congrats! The quilt is perfect...we are big fans of Eric Carle in this house, too :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt. I think loopy-line FMQ are so whimsical that they perfect fit baby quilts :-).
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute quilt! We love that book too and I definitely had it memorized for a while. I can't believe you only have 10 weeks left, how exciting!
ReplyDeleteThat went by fast....only ten weeks left, wow!!! The quilt looks amazing...and how precious that your children can 'read' the quilt. We loved Eric Carle books too...so cute.
ReplyDeleteOoh! This quilt is super fun! I have the fabric from the very center of the front, but I didn't realize there were so many fabrics in the line! Yay for a baby quilt being done! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the fab quilt and the soon-to-be new addition to the fam -- that's so exciting, Becky! I have got to find me some of the Hungry Caterpillar fabric.
ReplyDeleteWow, a quilt finished 10 weeks before the baby is due! I'm impressed. It's adorable. I love the banner photo at the top of your blog, too.
