Ruth has done it again! She's taken the original "Old Italian" block and made it exiting, interesting, and waiting expectantly for your artistic touch!
This quilt design expands the original "Old Italian Block" with two-tone triangles in two different sizes giving it a modern flair. The "new" Old Italian blocks are then paired with a diamond centered 36-Patch block to give the appearance of a cobblestone mosaic.
The mosaic look flows onto the inner border and to the outer border's corner stones. This provides the name "Old Italian Mosaic".
The connection of the Old Italian ("X") blocks gives the illusion that there are virtual larger blocks that are on point.
