# Collection Quilt block

> Edge-to-edge 2x2 collection quilt shop hero with full-bleed photo tiles and color-coded status pills

Full-width 2x2 grid hero linking four shop collections; each tile is a full-bleed photo with a color-coded status pill, name, and piece-count plus price-range meta over an animated Shop link. For storefront, category, lookbook, drop pages.

## Best for

A full width 2 by 2 quilt of collection links with no gutters, each showing a status dot, a price range and a hover lift

## Agent notes

- `COLLECTIONS` holds 4 samples; `priceFrom` and `priceTo` are plain numbers that `CollectionTile` prints with a literal dollar sign
- `statusKey` picks the dot color from `STATUS_DOT_CLASS`; `statusDetail`, such as Friday 8AM PT, is typed text, not a date
- `Hero` sets no padding or max width, so mount it in a full width slot; inside a narrow container it loses the edge to edge look

## When not to use

- Four categories shown by name and count in a contained grid under a headline: use [Category Shop Hero](https://web.dev.reui.io/blocks/ecommerce/shop-hero/shop-hero-4.md) (`get_block("shop-hero-4")`)

## Install

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add @reui/shop-hero-8
```

## About Shop Hero blocks

### When to use

- The opening screen of a storefront home page, told through a season, collection or brand story
- A sale or new drop launch that puts the offer, release status and shop links up front
- A first screen that routes shoppers into categories, collections or a few featured products

### When not to use

- The top of a software landing page led by an app console, code card or logo cloud: use the [Hero blocks](https://web.dev.reui.io/blocks/marketing/hero.md)
- A closing band that asks for a signup, an email or a sales call, with nothing to buy: use the [CTA blocks](https://web.dev.reui.io/blocks/marketing/cta.md)
- One offer built around a promo code the shopper copies before checkout: use the [Coupon blocks](https://web.dev.reui.io/blocks/ecommerce/coupon.md)

### Agent notes

- `Hero` takes no props, so its copy, links and photos are hardcoded in components/hero.tsx; lift them into props to reuse it
- Every `href` is a hash placeholder and every photo hotlinks images.unsplash.com; point them at your own routes and hosted images
- The only h1 is a sr-only one in each page.tsx, inside a `min-h-svh` main; `Hero` starts at h2, so give your page its own h1
