Old Italian Quilt Blocks

 


Old Italian Blocks
3 inch 
I now have over 400 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 before month end.. 

And sew on...

Oh so lovely. Look like sunrise inspired. I only made a couple of these in the past, I should try some more and let them pile up like you are for a later goal. Great job!

I have a mental image of old nonnas and nonnos (grandmas and grandpas), all dressed in black.....And then the fun mini-series Nonnas (about an Italian restaurant).
