Victory Quilts–Star Spangled Banner

This is another “easy skill level” block from Eleanor Burns’ new Quilt-in-a-Day book, Victory Quilts – 1940s Sampler Quilts.  See other blocks I’ve completed in my Quilt Blocks category.

This block is called “Star Spangled Banner” and was easy to construct, using paper backed fusible web to make the stars.  It’s based on a 1941 block which is very appropriate for a patriotic theme.

Victory Quilts–Contrary Wife Block

I’m continuing to sew and post the blocks from Eleanor Burns’ new Quilt-in-a-Day book, Victory Quilts – 1940s Sampler Quilts.  See other blocks I’ve completed in my Quilt Blocks category.

This block, called “Contrary Wife”, is rated “easy skill level” and is from the Kansas City Star in 1941.  It’s a very easy block to construct and pretty.
