This quilt block shows a funny shaped building against a blue salmon-patterned background. The building itself is in a sort of trapezoid shape and is light yellow. The roof is actually a painter's palette, the base color being brown. On the palette are blobs of other color, including red, black, yellow, blue and green shown by accompanying fabrics. Below the giant painter's palette are the words in cursive, "Neville Gallery" written in brown on the yellow building. Below the words is a dark teal rounded door with a gray door handle.

It's sitting on a dark brown trailer with a single wheel that is a dark circle with a small off-white two-holed button in the middle indicating the axle.

There are two dark circles indicating wheels underneath with small off-white two-holed buttons in the centers indicating the axle.

Andy is out in the driveway waxing his truck again, second time this week. He’s singing “On The Road Again” and his long suffering wife Deb is watching him from the kitchen window and rolling her eyes for the tenth time in as many minutes.
