Hungry for the caterpillar!

Who didn't love this little guy? Usually the gastronomical predilectations of Lepidopteran larvae are cause for concern, especially for the avid gardeners amongst us; yet I challenge anyone to pick up a copy of Eric Carle's utter classic and to flip through those beautifully illustrated and irregularly cut [okay, chomped] pages and to do so without even the slightest hint of a smile growing upon your lips. Go on. Dare ya.

Anyway, as you've probably discerned I'm something of a cater'phile, so imagine my delight upon discovering Very Hungry Caterpillar fabric during my browser window shopping expedition today!

Even better - I have a nephew-to-be due in October, and hence a somewhat more valid reason as an adult to buy and use this stuff than to simply thrust an amount of it under someone's nose and exclaim, "but look at it.. it's that caterpillar, the Very Hungry One, on fabric!!!"

Yup, I'm gonna be an Auntie-times-two, and will use this stuff to make the little fellow a cot quilt, deadline October. I can't wait!
