The Very Hungry Caterpillar™ Quilt

Kids have marveled at the bold, bright animals from Eric Carle’s beloved storybook The Very Hungry Caterpillar since it was first published over 40 years ago. Our quilt features a large caterpillar appliqué pieced from colorful cotton percales, and ginghams, dots and stripes atop a gingham ground.
