Tetris Heart, whole shapes, no two same shapes touch.

Post by bikyclist »

So I LOVE the idea of a Tetris heart, but I couldn't get behind the patterns I found out there with incomplete blocks, so I made one that uses only whole Tetris blocks. As in, if no-lines-had-been-won-yet style blocks, if that makes sense to your inner Tetris player. Also, no two blocks of the same shape touch.

It might be easier to just look at the pattern. :nod

I've backstitched the outline in metallic thread here --not that you can really tell -- but you can do without or however suits your style!!

(Technically its now done in 5 shades, black/white being the last, placed in the middle, but I don't have a pic of that version of the piece yet. :P)

I like the metallic bits on the one. A bit of sparkle.

The four different shades would look lovely on a bookmark for that special person... or yourself :)

It would be about the right size for a bookmark! Great idea. My mums birthday is coming up too :)

Wow, that is a very impressive pattern! And the hearts with the similar color-family are really pretty. Nice work!!

I'd love to make these. Do you think you could let me know the color combinations to all of them. i think the colors you have choosen are spot on so I don't want to change it I'd also like the combo for the white black one. Thanks :)

I actually just picked colours that looked nice together! I don't have my floss organised to have the DMC numbers attached and I started out using up the little bits of leftover thread from years worth of projects, which came out of a bag of such threads, so in all honesty the only colours that I know for certain I used are black, white and the five metallic threads, which were Gold-5282, Black-E310, Purple-E718, Green-E699 and Blue-E825.

I'm so sorry I couldn't be more helpful!

O NO!!! I suck at picking colors, mostly because I'm so insecure but I guess I could see this as a courage bilding experiment :grin:

Well, good luck!! They should look pretty good with pretty much any 7 shades as long as there is a good bit of differentiation between them -- if I was to do the blue one again I'd pick more carefully, as two of the shades are a bit close together; but the green one which has colours that I don't intrinsically find appealing works really well as a whole, because they are all such different shades of green.
Post a picture when you're done!! I'd love to see other versions!
