This quilt block is a corner block, meaning that it's oriented to one corner as the "bottom" of the block. This one is in the bottom right corner. There is a patch of dark green grass (fabric) in the bottom right, and standing on it is a pretty good sized fox. The fox is made up of a darker orange fabric and white fabric for its underbelly and tip of the tail. There is an almost black fabric for the foxglove paws. Details on the face, such as the ears and the eye have been drawn in with pen. This fox is in mid-step as it prowls for its prey.

Think how this building would fit into a Dr. Suess story. A hose could attach to the spigot and water could come out and put out fires. Can you tell four of my young grandchildren live with me?
