This quilt block shows an oddly shaped building. It's square but either side of it is a candy-striped barber pole with a gold ball on top. Along the top or roof is a white stripe that has scissors drawn on it and the word "Barber" in red. Underneath that is a grid window, really a patch of light cloth with squares drawn in brown in pen. It's an orange building otherwise, with a dark brown rounded door. This is all against a blue salmon-patterned background.

What a cute Barber Shop.

I only know what I’ve seen in movies about barber shops.

A place where guys go and get a haircut and hang out. It always looks like they are having a good time and that the barbershop is the most important place to be.

So maybe this shop is just like that. A hub of information and companionship.

Oh yeah, and a shave and haircut.
