Old Italian Blocks
3 inch
I now have 333 blocks toward my goal of 540.
I started making these in 2023.
The Old Italian blocks are a "cut and shuffle" type block- stack up 6 squares (I'm using 5 inch), make a few cuts, shuffle around the pieces and then sew together. I used a tutorial found at My Joyful Journey that includes instructions for X blocks in other sizes as well as the 3 inch.I now have gathered together several sets of six 5 inch squares and hope to make my goal soon.
And sew on...
Just love these blocks--thanks for the "link"...very pretty in blues/greens, Cathy. This goes on my "Definite to-do" list...hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteI love how those blocks look in those colors. Very rich looking and those are my least favorite colors. LOL Thanks for the link. I may have to buy a couple of her books. I really like how her method works. I like the slice and dice stuff.
ReplyDelete"Little old Italian" makes me think of an elderly nonna (Italian for grandmother), dressed in black....
ReplyDeleteI just love these. Something about tiny blocks that make my heart flutter (in a good way). These are wondeful.
