Honestly you really have to look to see the Tetris inside the quilt.
Gehodra @ Feb 28th 2008 12:10AM
Thank you! I had no idea what I was looking at. I thought it was supposed to be some optical illusion or something.
Klepto @ Feb 28th 2008 12:20AM
She can have my long block, if you know what I mean.
and wtf, how can you NOT see Tetris?
Geist @ Feb 28th 2008 4:35AM
I'd 'Tetris' that, if you know what I mean.

Тот человек - победитель для того, чтобы дать признание лучшей головоломке, сделанной человечеством.

I have no idea what you said, but I'll just assume that you're one of those guys on Youtube who comment in Spanish just to say nasty things without getting voted down as easily.

I said "that person is a winner for giving recognition to the best puzzle game made by mankind." I don't know russian, so I used a web translator. That alone with the fact that Tetris was created in Russia, so I decided to say something in russian just for the fun of it. Haha!

This person may be great at making quilts, but they clearly suck at Tetris.

You never EVER leave a woman that would make you a tetris afghan, that is in the bible I think.

It's an old wives tale that it's bad luck to knit (and I'd assume, crochet) anything for a guy that you like until you've been in a relationship with him for 10 years. I wonder how long she'd been with him before making that?
Superstitions are stupid, yeah, but I'm not taking any chances, either.
Also, I knew they were Tetris blocks right away, just because I'm at Joystiq and I'd assume anything they show that's knitted/crocheted would have to have some sort of relation to a game or it wouldn't be on here.
