Caterpillar Quilt

Here's a quick look at the Bug's Very Hungry Caterpillar quilt. It's at 'lock-up' stage, as they say in the building trade- ready for use, but without the finishing touches.

I wanted it to be ready for the cooler weather, so I hand quilted the border and the ditches between the strips, then sewed on the binding.

I'm intending to add more hand quilting within the strips. I had planned to quilt his name and birth date, as I did on Finn's quilt, and add leaves, fruit and a caterpillar or two. However he likes it so much he won't let me take it off his bed to quilt it!
