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.
I 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.
Love 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.
Good plans for your tetris blocks! I have my blocks laid out to stitch in the morning.
This 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
I really love your Black, White and not Christmas red blocks. The quilt is going to be stunning I think.
Beautiful work as always.
Your Tetris will make a really cute baby quilt
Sharon 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
Sharon 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 .
The tetris project is really interesting. I think the black and white would look great to tie it all together.
The RB&W block is gorgeous.
Love the Tetris block....I think I may have to start that! LOL
Loving the tetris block and the idea to sash it :) So fun!!!
Great 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.
Wow! You have many QALs going on.... Can't wait to see your result.... :)
Oooo 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!
I love that red and black and white block! You do have a lot going on--as usual.
Cute Tetris block and I love what you are doing with the Christmas village QAL!
I 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
Love the tetris! I really want to do that one. Looks great!
Great 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.
