This quilt block shows a door, or a panel of wall that would be next to a door, with some pegs for hanging things. The pegs can't be seen because a large brimmed hat made out of black fabric and a cloak made out of a dark green fabric are hanging from the wall. Next to the wall on the bottom right are two gray boots. Everything is outlined in a bright yellow stitching.

Here’s the rest of the gear the “barn-mucker” needs to muck out the barn.

Stripes are penned in for the bee's appearance. The flowers are straight stalks of stitching with some dark green leaves poking out the side. At the top of each stalk is an eye shaped piece of orange fabric, and in the center of those eyes is a small black two holed button. This really makes them look like eyes!Block-A-Day 192 – Bzzzzzz This quilt block shows a bunch of flowers.

Below the orange roof is a green building with a darker orange sign on it that reads, "Laundromat." The windows on either side of the red door are round.
