This quilt block shows a patch of grass at the bottom indicated by a dark green fabric cut with a jagged edge pointing up. The grass is outlined with a yellow stitching. To the left is a small birdbath. It's a simple tan cone with a small bowl at the top to make the bath. On top of the bowl, and about half as big as it, is a red bird. It is made up of duotone polka dotted red fabric. There is a similar bird mid-flight coming to rest on the other side of the birdbath. This is all against a blue salmon-patterned background.

The scale is appropriate and fits in nicely. It also attracts the smaller birds, even hummingbirds. The young man who lives here keeps it super clean and consequently the birds flock here.

This quilt block shows a little garden water feature (pond) against a blue background. The pond is surrounded by gray rock made of gray fabric. The rocks are individually outlined in yellow stitching. There are three patches of tall grass leaves along the back side of the rocks made up of green fabric. And inside the pond, are a couple of lily pads and a red water flower, made up of green and red fabric with some extra pen drawn details. This is all against a blue salmon-patterned background.

When you see a garden with a successful water feature where all the details are taken care of it’s a delight. What details? You know, bug control, algae control, live plants and or fish. Water gives a cooling element to a garden, a freshness that’s hard to achieve.

This quilt block shows two patches of grass, one big one on the bottom left and a small one on the bottom right. The grass patches are jagged cut green fabric outlined in yellow stithing. Coming out of the left patch of grass is a flower spike, a column of bulbs, that looks a bit like Gladiolus. The bulbs are colored pink and red (red with pen and pink fabric). Next to the spike of bulbs is a bunny viewed from the back. The bunny is tan, has a lighter tail, and two ears, one floppy.

They are not good pets for children, their spines aren’t as flexible as cats and that makes them harder to pick up properly. But for an adult, a rabbit makes a really nice pet. It frightens them to be picked up but they love to sit on your lap and be petted.
