Elaine:
"I did a little research and some say that a Corn and Beans block is green and yellow and that different colorations go by different names. Well, I didn't want to make a John Deere tractor colored block, so I went with purple and gray! 

Also, some Corn and Beans blocks are like four of this one sewn together and using three colors."
