Thanks again.
Yes, I live out in the country, so of course I thought of fields and dirt roads, but change the sashing to black and put more houses (or fabrics with pictures of houses and "town stuff") and it would make a town.

If you're making it for a specific child, the house block could be personalized in the colors of the child's house (in the diagram it is gray with a red roof because my house is).
