Sprite Stitch Board!

I'm thinking of doing something with Tetris for my sister but since I've never got into it myself I don't know much about it. From reading on the net I gather there are 7 different figures and that everyone has one specific color but there are different colors on different sites Also on some pictures there seem to be just one single block that doesn't fit in with any of the 7 shapes, is that kind of leftovers from a line cleared? If anyone could help me and tell me what DMC colors would fit the different blocks I'd really appreciate it

Hello fellow citizen
Yeah, the seven tetris blocks all consists of four smaller blocks, and they are all the combinations the four smaller blocks can do, given one side attached to another side. So if you've found some other block it must be a leftover. Or some strange homemade tetris-version.

Well, different tetris versions probably have different colors for each block... so...
And for the original it's probably the some logical thinking behind it as for the seven block combinations: red, blue, yellow, green (yellow+blue), purple (red+blue), etc

Anyway, do you think it matters what nuance of green/blue/red/etc you use? I think just stitch away

the tetris-standardization blocks and colors looks good. I like the shadowing on the blocks, creating more depth.

Thank you. I have picked colors that are simular to the once posted. I'm not so concerned with the nuances but there where so many different colors depending one where I looked and I wanted to get it as right as possible.
