I am so excited for today’s post!

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 ten of that project. The first round (or block, you might say) is complete with block nine. That Town now has a downtown!

Nine quilt blocks are stitched together in a square. A star is in the center, and large number of tall buildings surround it pointing towards it. They form a city bock amongst many little star buttons. — Click To Enlarge

Here are the first nine blocks sewn together to make the town square. I love it.

I added many buttons from justanotherbuttoncompany.com, which I mentioned in the last post. I attached them with a basting glue so we can all see how cute this will be. After the quilt is all put together, I will put it in water, and the buttons will come off. After it dries, it will get quilted, and I will permanently attach them. I can’t wait to finish the next round.

This is the first block of the next round.

While the background is only slightly lighter than the previous blocks, you can see more color and definition. Retail businesses are popping up; delightfully, they are all small business owners! For me, this translates into a unique charm.

So, this little business is a Kitchen Store. I think they help design kitchens, coordinating everything from floors, cabinets, and counters to cookware and paint colors. Also, I’m sure they would have some excellent craftsmen to bring everything to life.

Ahhhh.
