Well, the "caterpillar" nap roll/play mat is done. I altered a bit from the original with the blanket not being attached to the bolster roll with velcro, no pom-pom trim for caterpillar legs and replaced the ribbon ties with elastic straps for the purpose of safety. When I went looking for supplies to make the face, I lucked out in finding the felt buttons, hearts and flowers. They worked perfectly and are safer for a toddler than buttons.
The quilt pattern for the blanket is "
Zig Zag Love" which I found on the Craftsy website. The original size was 25" x 21 1/2". Not sure of the exact size mine wound up but I adjusted it to fit my purposes.
I will be making another (not right away) for my other granddaughter. That one will be a ruffled quilt, another design that just screams "caterpillar".
