Description
Victory Quilts represents a look back in history to the 1940’s and life on the home front during the war years. This book offers patterns and techniques for 20 blocks, each one representing a slice of history with a story to tell. The blocks are traditional patterns, popular during the 1940’s era.
Along with strip piecing, Eleanor teaches her techniques for squaring up triangle-pieced squares, applique, flying geese patches, and much more. Make a sampler quilt “set on point” or straight set.
Each method is clearly explained and has step-by-step illustrations in full color. Ribbon and swag borders are explained in detail and add unique interest to the quilt projects. Same block repeat patterns are included in addition to a table runner, wall hanging, and other projects.
Victory Quilts contains yardage and cutting charts for 5 quilt sizes, and the blocks can be made in either 12 in or 6 in size. The book has 240 pages packed with lots of extra projects. Templates are included in sturdy cardstock paper.
Take a step back in history to the greatest generation and stitch your quilt in memory of those long gone days!
