Little Old Italian Blocks

 


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...

I 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.

"Little old Italian" makes me think of an elderly nonna (Italian for grandmother), dressed in black....

I just love these. Something about tiny blocks that make my heart flutter (in a good way). These are wondeful.
