It's Week 5 of the Tetris Quilt-A-Long!!!!  We are winding down!!  (But only with the blocks, we still have borders, and putting it all together, no worries, we don't officially end until the 11th of September :)

But before we get to the pieces for week 5, Let's first announce a winner of the Week 4 giveaway who gets the Cameo Design Roll. And Mr Random Generator says the winner is . . .#19 - KellyS- Congrats!




So now  . . .  on to Week 5!!!  (Only one more week of pieces after this week!!)


First, Print off your grid!!
Now, color in your Tetris Pieces
 



Nothing fancy needed, just fill it in as if you were playing.  Here's my grid for this week.  Notice how I had to color over my yellow square.  I missed the second to last piece and had to go back and fix it ;)




Now lay your fabric out to match your grid.  (Sorry it is a little blurry :)


And now just sew your squares into rows and then your rows into your Week 5 Block!!! (For detailed instructions on sewing a grid/patch block together see this post :)  



Yippee Skippee!!!  Week 5 block is complete!!!  And now you can enter to win the weekly prize :)

So what do you have to do for a chance to win this beautiful Half Yard Bundle??  Simple . . . Just link up your Week 5 block at the end of this post :)  You can link to a blog post or a flickr picture, or whatever.  Just make sure to link up by next Tuesday morning as I will be announcing a winner at the beginning of next weeks post :)

If you don't get your block done by next week you can still link it up :) (just not in time for the prize :)    The linky will remain open until the end of the Quilt-A-Long.  So if your out of town, or just had a busy week, no worries!!!  Just link up when you can :)

  4. Hooray! I am so excited I won!! I just got my blocks 1-4 pieced together last night and hoped to get this block done before Thursday. Other than the washer/dryer error I also misplaced one of my spill over blocks. So I had to rip up block 4, I believe and rearrange it. But it all worked out and you would never know all the problems I have had with this easy quilt. LOL

  7. Congratulations Kelly, Gidday Melissa,
    I love the locks with the color combos and Understand this is a game but is there any particular reason for each block being coloured so specifically. I am not a gamer so just want to know what is happenning. Especially when the marvellous Jule at Intrepid has the Merlot Kona giveaway. This is the colourway I want but u know....
    I have been following, thinking it will become clear but I haven't got the foggiest idea. Like with Anne doesn't want it to end. What to end?
    So when you have a moment love to hear.
    Cheers to you all.
