This quilt block shows a very orange church building. The steeple of the church building is tall and has a triangular top. Next to it is the long roof of the sanctuary. Both roofs are very dark brown, along with the door. Along the side the of the steeple written in white pen are the word,s "Cathedral" and a bright orange patch of fabric indicating a window. To the right of the rounded door are more bright orange rectangular windows and above them the words "Performance Hall" penned in white. This is all against a blue salmon-patterned background.

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 seventy-four of that project.

This quilt block shows a very orange church building. The steeple of the church building is tall and has a triangular top. Next to it is the long roof of the sanctuary. Both roofs are very dark brown, along with the door. Along the side the of the steeple written in white pen are the word,s "Cathedral" and a bright orange patch of fabric indicating a window.

The Cathedral was an abandoned church near the outskirts of That Town.

The windows were broken, and the roof leaked. An arts group that wanted a venue for the performing arts saw potential in this grand old building.

They did lots of fundraising, and then they managed to get a patron with bottomless pockets. After many hours of volunteer work and some paid structural work, it was ready to shine.

Now they can book stars from all over the world.

It’s such a cool place to go to performances, and the acoustics are amazing!

This quilt block show a very large building, much like an airport hangar. We're looking at the building from the front. It's very tall with a brown front, and a darker brown angled roof. Beneath the sharp apex of the roof is a light sign that has written on it in bold, "CARGO." Beneath the cargo signage are two large double garage doors (or one big door with stitching down the middle) that has three big red stripes across it horizontally. All of this is set against a blue slamon-patterned background.Block-A-Day 163 – Cargo By Air This quilt block shows a very orange building with an orange roof and a light orange glass door (shaded with white pen). The sign above the double doors is red with a white and black border. It reads, "Gambles" in white pen in bold letters across it. All the fabric pieces are outlined by an orange and black stitching.Block-A-Day 263 – Gambles This quilt block shows a very colorful square building. The flat rectangular roof is a deep green fabric with a light green sign in the middle of it with writing in blue pen, "Pet Store." Below that the building is a light teal blue. In the upper left of the building is the word in blue pen, "Polly's" in cursive. On the left is an orange door with a rounded top. To the right is a large light yellow window with an orange trim on the bottom. In the window is a fairly detailed parrot sitting on a perch. The parrot is a deep blue with a yellow beak and light brown wings.Block-A-Day 264 – Polly’s Pet Store This quilt block shows a lovely orange cottage in the bottom half. The cottage has an orange roof, with two chimneys. The front is a darker orange tan with two square golden windows. The door is orange like the roof and has a white doorknob. Penned in on the front of the house is a green vine with red flowers on it, traveling up the wall. The roof is lined with stitching and the house and windows are outlined with stitching.Block-A-Day 359 – Lars And Ebba Olsson
