    If any of you are familiar with the book, Brown Bear Brown Bear what do you see, or The Hungry Caterpiller. There is an Author museum that sells the fabric.

    I got it cheaper than from a quilt shop! Same quality as the Hungry Caterpiller I purchased last year from local quilt shop.

    I am so excited ! The one panel has each book page as a square. Bear, red bird, yellow duck, green frog, purple horse.. ect..

    Can not wait to get this underway !
    Google it to find the site. Look under fabric at main site. Wow ! I am so excited !!

    Thanks for the link. I loved Eric Carle growing up. I love the illustration colors that he uses :mrgreen:

    Those prices look comparable to what I paid. I think I actually paid a little less on fabric.com...

    I have both fabrics to make the Brown Bear and Hungry Catepillar quilts for my little grandson. I think I paid the same prices for my fabrics.

    My local fabric store charged 10 dollars plus on the hungry caterpillar panel, then 8 dollars a yard for the color dots of the matching fabric.

    So, I was thrilled. oh well. I was happy to find the site.

    Ellen, thats the cheapest I have found "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" panel, I think one seller on ebay has the panels for the same price maybe a LITTLE higher (couple pennies).

    I think I am going to make a large quilt for my daughters Kindergarten room/teacher and give it to "them" with the book.

    Hi,
    Glad you like the site. Your idea sparked a memory. I did buy the hungry panel for 10 dollars at local store, but they were out of the food fabric. Checked for that and found it available.. So, I did get the book for a little girl's present. I had reordered only the "circle" fabric from the series. Since I was successful .. ordered more but this time the food :)

    The teacher will be very happy for this ! My mom was a teacher. she treasured all gifts from parents.. gave her validation she was working hard. She will love your gift !

    Thanks for writing!
