Fons and Porter’s Love of Quilting magazine has published quilt patterns using the Very Hungry Caterpillar fabric (May/June 2008 issue) and the newly released Brown Bear, Brown Bear fabric (March/April 2009 issue).
There’s also a Flickr group for things people have made with the Eric Carle fabrics at http://www.flickr.com/groups/ericcarlefabric/ .
Glad you liked my Caterpillar softie, thank you for the link!
Funny you should mention … i was just admiring a very hungry caterpillar softie today but the $40 price tag put me off.
