More Old Italian Blocks



Old Italian Blocks
3 inch 
I now have 476 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 hope to meet my goal of 540 blocks before month end. 

The theme this month in my sewing space to move UFOs forward is "itty bits, fiddly bits".  These are itty and fiddly!

And sew on...
