It's been a long time but I'm going to make a baby quilt. Not knowing the gender of the baby I'm making the quilt for, I wanted something neutral but not boring. I looked at our local fabric stores and couldn't find anything that jumped out and said, "Buy me!" So I went home and got on my trusty computer. When I saw this fabric (found on fabric.com), I knew it was what I wanted. Based on the classic children's book "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle, the flannel fabric is lively and bright, as well as super soft. Perfect!
Today I washed all the fabric so I won't have problems with shrinkage later. I washed the solid blue by itself in case the dye bled. I'm not taking any chances!
Tonight, I'll use my rotary cutter and cutting mat to make strips of varying sizes for the front of the quilt. The back will be one solid length of fabric, the white with green caterpillars.
Wish me luck!
