Metal - 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.

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 block shows a metal gate with metal slats across it against a blue background. The gate itself has a little latch top open and close it. Each slat is gray and outlined with a light stitching. On each side of the gate is a post with a round spherical top. On the left post is an orange-yellow bird chirping.
