This quilt block shows a multi-level barn against a light blue salmon-patterned background. This barn is shaped like a barn with a wide triangular roof, but the center protrudes further up with a large two-story loft. The two sides are lower. The barn itself is a tan fabric with dark green windows, roofs, and doors. The dark green patches of fabric are outlined by a light green stitching. There is a small door on the left side, a huge door in the middle, and a small door on the right side. The loft has three lower square windows and one higher square window in a triangle formation.

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 three hundred and thirteen of that project.

This is a dream barn. I would love to have this barn. *sigh*

This is a barn on a dairy farm. Stalls on one side and a milking facility on the other. The loft is filled with hay.

At the back of the barn is a room gleaming with stainless steel counters and sinks where the cream is separated, and small batches of specialty butters are made.

I would love to be a barn cat in this barn!
