The Hungry Caterpillar quilt

So as an aspiring pattern writer I figured you have to start somewhere so here I am starting with
 the very hungry caterpillar. Which also happens to be one of my favorite stories, and so far my daughters favorite also. I started with the panels and then sat down and started doodling thinking now this goes here and that goes there. Realizing that I had large gaps that I would have to fill so here is a glimpse of what I filled it with....

As you can see my daughter is helping me the very best way she knows how, by holding it down with her bottom. Its amazing how much you can get done in one nap time. The plan is to have this finished in a few more days and then send it off to the quilter and write the pattern while they have it. I hope to be able to offer it in pdf and printed form which you could buy on this site, or possibly even in a store. I have to go my daughter is terrorizing my husbands desk.
