Old Italian Quilt Blocks



 Old Italian Blocks
3 inch 
I now have 369 blocks toward my goal of 540. 
I think at this point I may have to recount to be sure of how many blocks I have. 


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...

Scrappy + wonky = delightful! 540 is a lot of blocks!
