She likes to go camping with a her husband, or a friend. I’m so impressed that she can do everything herself with it. I’m very independent but not when it comes to things with wheels.

This quilt block shows another car but this time it is very pink. This car is rounder and you can see the rear window and a very small trunk. The headlight on the front of the car is a darker pink. The windows are a gray-yellow, and there are two dark wheels at the bottom. Each wheel has a small off-white two-hole button indicating the axle.

Remember when Mary Kay Cosmetics gave away pink Cadillacs in their reward program? Well this isn’t a Cadillac, but I think it’s close to Mary Kay Pink. It also is the color of Barbie’s car. I think this little car is adorable, especially the headlight that looks like a pink nose.

This quilt block shows a dark blue somewhat short compact car from a side view. It's facing left. The front angles down, and the back is a rectangle. The headlights, windshield, and window are yellow pieces of fabric. There are two tires that are black with off-white two-holed buttons in the center.

The first electric was a crude model made by an English inventor, Robert Anderson in 1832. Yep you read that right 1832! Then in 1870 a more practical model was developed for a wider market.

This quilt block shows a large two part truck. It's one truck, but it has a front cab, and a large back end for moving things. The front cab is bright orange, while the back end is a bright light blue. On the back end are the words,

*WHERE DO YOU WANT IT? Movers* is a wonderful moving company. Moving is hard. I’m always impressed by people who move a lot. How much is a lot? More than once every 5 years.

I think I have scooter envy. I have never ridden on a scooter but I think it would be fun. We are assuming this is an electric scooter. I’ve been reading about electric scooters online and this is what I’ve found out.

This quilt block shows a red little buggy convertible car with the roof off against a light blue background. The car itself is from a side view, with two dark wheels whose hubcaps are represented by two small white two-holed buttons. The red car only has one set of doors and no back seat.

I am wearing my cute sunglasses that have little pink flowers all over them and are rose tinted. I am wearing a scarf Audrey Hepburn style and wearing bright lipstick. Happy music is playing on the radio and the weather is perfect.

This quilt block shows a yellow double-decker bus against a gray background. The bus has two big brown wheels with off-white two-holed round buttons in the centers. There is a driver's wheel penned in the bottom front of the bus, but more importantly there is a blue sign on the side that says,

Low overpasses are common here and that is a problem for these tall buses. Also, they are ok for urban areas where speeds are low and winds are broken by the buildings.

This is another corner quilt block. Against a gray background is a patch of grass in the bottom right, lighter than some of the other blocks before. There are little green sprouts, and on the sprouts are red two-holed flower shaped buttons.

This corner block marks where the school zone starts. I lived on the corner right across from our high school. I can tell you in real life those corners do not have sweet little flower patches on them.
