This quilt block shows a light orange fountain on a dark green patch of grass against a splotchy gray background. The fountain spout in the center has a bulb at the bottom with little miniature black buttons on it, and then narrows near the top where streams of water are shooting out (stitches and blue marker). The water lands in the shell like bottom pool.

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 six of that project.

This quilt block shows a light orange fountain on a dark green patch of grass against a splotchy gray background. The fountain spout in the center has a bulb at the bottom with little miniature black buttons on it, and then narrows near the top where streams of water are shooting out (stitches and blue marker).

A big beautiful fountain!

A park like this wouldn’t be complete without one.

The bottom is full of pennies. Each one represents a wish.

Just think of all the thoughts swirling around here.

What would you wish for if you threw a penny in this fountain?
