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. This is day one hundred and twenty-two of that project.

This quilt block shows a red little buggy convertible car with the roof off against a light blue background. The car itself is from a side view, with two dark wheels whose hubcaps are represented by two small white two-holed buttons. The red car only has one set of doors and no back seat. — Click To Enlarge

Here is my fantasy about this little red car: I am driving down the coastal highway in California.

I am wearing my cute sunglasses with little pink flowers all over them that are rose-tinted. I am wearing a scarf, Audrey Hepburn style, and bright lipstick. Happy music is playing on the radio, and the weather is perfect.

Here is the reality: I am not a good enough driver to drive a sports car, and I fall asleep.

So in the interest of public safety, I’ll keep the fantasy in my head. When my husband and I were dating, he owned a red MG convertible. We called it the baby car.

It was a sweet little number. I drove it once, and it scared me to pieces.

Before we got married, he sold the baby car, and we bought a car with a back seat because I had a two-year-old that needed a car seat, and he loved us.
