Ok, this is untested, so I apologize for any wonkiness. I have created a nonogram for y'all to solve. Post here when you've got it and let me know what you think!  You Will Need:* Graph Paper * Pens/Pencils/Some sort of paper-marking devices Colors: Red, Yellow, Blue, Black (or gray and a good imagination) How to Play:This puzzle maps to a grid that's 28 squares wide x 26 high. I will tell you how many squares in each row get colored in, and also how many columns. If the same color is listed twice in succession, there must be at least one blank space between each sequence. Okay, is that clear as mud? Feel free to post questions if a better explanation is needed. Here's the puzzle: Rows:
1: RED 19
2: RED 21
3: RED 2, YELLOW 2, RED 12, YELLOW 1, RED 6
4: RED 2, YELLOW 2, RED 8, BLACK 2, RED 3, YELLOW 1, RED 7
5: RED 2, YELLOW 2, RED 8, BLACK 1, RED 1, BLACK 1, RED 3, YELLOW 1, RED 5, YELLOW 1, RED 2
6: RED 2, YELLOW 1, RED 7, BLACK 2, RED 12, YELLOW 1, RED 2
7: RED 9, BLACK 1, RED 14, YELLOW 1, RED 2

Ooh! This is my jam! The rows have numbers listed from left to right, yes? And the columns, are the numbers/colors in order from top to bottom? For example, row 2 says RED 10, BLACK 1, BLACK 1, so the 10 red boxes are above the 1 black and the other 1 black, right?
Edit to add: Also, you say there must be at least one blank square between each sequence. In my experience, there only has to be a blank space between the same color, but different colors can be next to each other. Are you sure there must be a blank square between each sequence?

Yay! A fellow nonofan!  . Yes the rows/columns go left to right and top to bottom. I may have poorly phrased the blank issue because it is meant to be between same-color sequences as you said: you can have Red-Yellow-Red or Red-Blank Spaces-Red.

Oh! That was fun on so many levels! Here's what I did: 1. Copy your lists into a text document. 2. Open the text document in Excel and work some magic to create a grid like the ones in the app I play all the time. Excel can't make pictures though, so I did some more magic to turn it into a png. Here it is. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/AkaVsw0.png) 3. Then I solved it. Very cool! And in case anyone else wants to see the finished product without doing the puzzle, I give you... the answer ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/NMhkTSM.png) Again! Again!

 Jelly, Bravissimo on so many levels!  Thanks for cleaning up the puzzle in a way I could not; I was working pretty low-tech at the time. (Literally drew it on graph paper with a pencil, counted up the squares, and typed the numbers into my phone; a method I don't recommend *g*) And beautifully solved, too! Now I need to make another one! ^_^
