Week # 2 block for the Tetris Quilt Along with Melissa at http://happyquiltingmelissa.blogspot.com/2012/07/tetris-quilt-long-week-2.html
I am using 2.5" squares and if a 'dropped block' doesn't fit, I just eliminate it so I have some nice white squares in the mix. I think I will sash these - either a black or black/white tiny pin-dot and colored corner stones. This will make a cute baby quilt.
I am playing with the Christmas Village Quilt Along over at Judy's http://www.patchworktimes.com/. You have to note that there are 4 designers involved and each is contributing a block (or more) each month - so you have to visit each designer, save or print instructions. Once the month is up, those patterns are NO LONGER available! So big girl panties - keep track of your BOM.
I haven't posted anything about the work with the http://www.freespiritfabric.blogspot.com/ Christmas in July Quilt Along - some of you have been commenting on my flicker account posts. I have enough seasonal quilts going, so chose to do this one in black and white with a touch of red. I am anxious to be able to put this one together, but there is still a few more blocks to come - you won't see this one again until it is a quilt top.
The Think Christmas Blog Hop is around the corner - I will be posting on July 30th. And the Pets on Quilts is coming up fast too. I still can't get my furries to get near a quilt - they know they aren't allowed! I may need to borrow someone's pet.
AND we finally got some rain with some horrible lightening! I won Jen's traveling stash box - so as soon as it arrives, I will be posting quickly and quickly passing on - I am heading into vending season, so don't want the box to sit.

Love all your blocks. I cannot tell you how many hours of my life I played tetris.....way too many...grin...and I loved every minute of it.
ReplyDeleteI love the red/white/black block. That's going to make a great quilt. My Tetris squares are all set out and ready to stitch in the morning. I made 2 more blocks from last weeks tiles. I found this week's a little more of a challenge.
ReplyDeleteLove the game and love your Tetris squares. The black, white and a touch of red block is nice, is it a pattern? Looks like you can enter that one in the dots on dots blog hop.
ReplyDeleteGood plans for your tetris blocks! I have my blocks laid out to stitch in the morning.
ReplyDeleteThis is fun. I'm glad I saw the tetris button on your blog. Had never played tetris, but found a website where I can play for free. Good grief. Very addictive game.
Very pretty Christmas blocks and black, white and red block.
gorgeous blocks Sharon.xx
ReplyDeleteI really love your Black, White and not Christmas red blocks. The quilt is going to be stunning I think.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work as always.
ReplyDeleteYour Tetris will make a really cute baby quilt
ReplyDeleteSharon your Christmas Village is turning out great! It has rained every day for a month here at the mission but at my house in Arkansas -not a drop. Deep drought. Sure wish I could send some up there. blessings, marlene
ReplyDeleteSharon you are amazing at how many projects and QAL's you manage to participate in and keep up , lovely work and I especially love the red , white and black that will be a real show piece .
ReplyDeleteThe tetris project is really interesting. I think the black and white would look great to tie it all together.
ReplyDeleteThe RB&W block is gorgeous.
Love the Tetris block....I think I may have to start that! LOL
ReplyDeleteLoving the tetris block and the idea to sash it :) So fun!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to put some white in the Tetris block. Even more like the game! I love that black and white block so look forward to seeing more in future.
ReplyDeleteWow! You have many QALs going on.... Can't wait to see your result.... :)
ReplyDeleteOooo Sharon! Your Tetris block is really going to be cute, especially with the black/white corner stones and sashing! Your Christmas Village QAL almost makes me wish I had decided to play along, but I just had too much on my plate already and had to "Just say no!" Honestly, I would try to do everything if I could :*) My favorite of your blocks though is the Black/white/red block - Wow!!! Just love it with those dots adding extra zing!
ReplyDeleteI love that red and black and white block! You do have a lot going on--as usual.
ReplyDeleteCute Tetris block and I love what you are doing with the Christmas village QAL!
ReplyDeleteI am loving your Tetris block too. I am doing the same thing as you. I tend to use only 8 squares each block and drop one off too. It's such a fun QAL
ReplyDeleteLove the tetris! I really want to do that one. Looks great!
ReplyDeleteGreat Tetris block. I never thought about doing them in smaller squares but I like it. A baby quilt would e so cute in this pattern.
