How to play this block puzzle
- Drag a patch from the tray onto the quilt. A soft outline shows where it will land. Patches cannot be rotated.
- Fill a full row or column and it clears, which frees space and scores points. One patch can finish several lines at once.
- When all three patches are placed the tray refills. The game ends when none of the patches in the tray fits anywhere.
There is no clock. New players get a short guided start: a hand shows where to drag for three moves, a wrong drop simply returns the patch to the tray, and you can skip it. The start screen also plays a demo by itself if you want to watch first.
The twist: matched seams and the seam ripper
Every patch is cut from one fabric: gingham, polka dot, stripes, floral or denim. The fabric is not just decoration.
| What you clear | What you get |
|---|---|
| A line of mixed fabrics | The normal line score |
| A Matched Seam: 5 or more of the 8 patches share one fabric | +120 bonus and one seam ripper |
| A Perfect Seam: all 8 patches share one fabric | +250 bonus and one seam ripper |
A seam ripper removes one whole patch you placed earlier. Tap the ripper, then tap the patch. You can hold two at a time, and they are only ever earned by play. If nothing in the tray fits but you still hold a ripper, the game warns you instead of ending, so a ripper is a second chance you built yourself.
Tips for a longer run
- Group fabrics on purpose. Put denim next to denim. A matched seam is worth more than the line itself, and the ripper it gives is what saves a crowded board later.
- Leave room for the big patches. The long bars and the 3x3 square need open runs. Fill edges and corners with small pieces first.
- Look at all three patches before placing the first. The order matters: the piece that fits only one spot goes first.
- Clear lines back to back for a streak bonus, but do not chase a streak into a board with single-cell holes.
- Save a ripper for a jam. Spending it early on a small annoyance is the usual regret.
Scoring, levels and saving
Placing patches and clearing lines both score; several lines in one move and streaks score more. The level counter goes up every 1,000 points and is just a milestone, the board does not speed up. Your best score, sound settings and whether you have seen the guided start are stored in your browser only.
Controls and sound
Drag with a finger or the mouse; on touch screens the patch floats above your finger so you can see it. P or Esc pauses and M switches the music. Music and sound effects have separate switches, tips can be turned off, and nothing plays until your first tap.
What kind of block puzzle is this?
Block puzzles of this kind give you a few shapes at a time and a board to fit them on; full lines disappear and the game lasts until you run out of room. We kept that rule because it is easy to learn. The quilt theme, the fabrics, the matched seam bonus and the seam ripper are our own, as are the drawings and the music.
