Double Four Patch

Some time ago I started a scrappy quilt using a block called a four patch (shown below) I have recently gone back to this block and come up with some new (to me anyways ) ideas.  Like the Tetris layouts I can see this being done either by crochet or by patchwork.

Here is the basic block.

Tetris Layouts

A while back I was bored and played around with some coloured pencils and square paper.  I came up with a design that reminded me of a Tetris block.  I can see me making this by either patchwork or by crochet.


This first one is the layout I started with, I wasn't sure if I should include the black stripes or not.

Here it is with the black background stripes removed.

An alternate colour scheme?
