This quilt block shows a shed on the left side, and some tools on the side (front to us) of the shed. There is a gray pitchfork, and a light gray shovel. The shed itself is a piece of light tan orange fabric, with a dark brown roof that has yellow stitched outline. On the left side of the block are two potted flowers. The pots are a dark red with lighter duotone polka dots. The two flowers are different, one having two bulbs that are pink and red, and one being sunflower-like with a red outside and a black center.

Today I continue my quest in creating and posting one block a day of the fabulous That Town And Country Quilt by the lovely Susan-Claire Mayfield. This is day two hundred and fourteen of that project.

This quilt block shows a shed on the left side, and some tools on the side (front to us) of the shed. There is a gray pitchfork, and a light gray shovel. The shed itself is a piece of light tan orange fabric, with a dark brown roof that has yellow stitched outline. On the left side of the block are two potted flowers. The pots are a dark red with lighter duotone polka dots. The two flowers are different, one having two bulbs that are pink and red, and one being sunflower-like with a red outside and a black center.

This is someone new to gardening.

How do I know?

Look how clean all the tools and her shed are. She has had good advice, though, and seems to have a green thumb.

Her pots are gorgeous, and she has two of the most useful tools. I hope all of you are enjoying whatever outdoor spaces you have.

My flowers at the shop are so beautiful this year.

Above that strip of grass is a pretty detailed wheelbarrow constructed out of very dark brown fabric with a yellow stitching outline. The top rim and inside of the wheelbarrow is a gray fabric. Inside the wheelbarrow, which we are seeing from the side, is dirt, brown fabric marked with pen, and a flower pot. Inside the flower pot are pen lines going up into buttons. The flower bulbs are tiny two-hole buttons of various colors.Block-A-Day 208 – The Wheelbarrow This quilt block shows another corner of grass. This grass is much darker green but it does have the same bold and dashed yellow stitching on the upper border. On top of the dark green grass are stitched lines going up forming stalks of flowers.
