Cream - Tina's Fabric Nook

This quilt block shows several large metallic cans against a light blue salmon-patterned background. The canisters themselves are gray fabric that looks metallic. The canisters have little handles near the top. The top is smaller than the bottom, forming a very wide flute, and have a cross handle on top. These details are made clear with light gray stitching lines. On the front two canisters are little yellow-orange signs with the words, "Milk" and "Cream" written in black pen.

Block-A-Day 316 – The Cream Of The Crop

On a family farm, some of the cream might be skimmed off and used for whipping, butter, or mixing with whole milk for coffee. Commercial dairy operations use a separator.

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.

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