I started making Old World Blocks back in late September. from civil war reproduction bits and pieces. At that time I made six of the 13.5 inch (finished) blocks and decided that 30 blocks would make for a nice sized quilt. Since then the Old World blocks have been my leader/ender project - I've been working in stages on 24 blocks all at one time. I've had the blocks completed before I started my quilting marathon but just recently found time to finish ironing them all. And now - to the SAR (Some Assembly Required) box they go.
See my previous posts on Old World blocks for the Youtube tutorial I used if you are interested in making your own blocks.
Now since my little collection of civil war reproduction fabrics is getting low I need to assess any UFOs that use these fabrics and get them to the SAR.
And sew on...

What a great block! Interesting odd size. You know that by saying you're low on a particular genre (or color) is just an invitation to your readers....
I love those blocks! I've bookmarked the instructions and will probably fall into their clutches myself!
(And I suspect Nann is right about fabrics now being aimed your way...)
The blocks are interesting and work well together. I am sure they will wonderful showcased all sewn up together.
You have certainly put in the work to complete all those blocks. And now the hunt is on to seek out any Cvil War scraps and turn them into groups of blocks for future projects. I look forward to seeing your progress!
Those are beautiful.
