I have been wanting to make a quilt for Johns Hopkins Children’s Center for a while. I got an e-mail from someone that knew of my involvement with them. In the May issue of Love of Quilting was a Very Hungry Caterpillar quilt pattern. They had a kit, but it was already sold out. You could still order, but they did not know when they would be ready. I started googling and made myself crazy, so I put it in the back of my mind for a while. Yesterday, it leaped forward again so I started googling again. After three hours and three headaches, I said the hell with it. I wanted to go to one site and get everything. Is that so much to ask? Evidently it is. So I went back to LOQ and ordered their kit, but I bought a different backing from some other place. What can I say? It was different. I liked it.
I measured my quilt top this morning. One side is off 1/2 an inch and that’s it. I was so happy. I assumed there would be inches of difference. I won’t have to worry about the border now. No. Wait a minute. I still have to decide on what fabric to use. Jeez. 
I have several possibilities, but I only need two.
