Victory Quilts–Hope of Hartford Block

Finishing up the last few blocks in Eleanor Burns’ Quilt-in-Day book, Victory Quilts — 1942 Sampler Blocks.  See other blocks I’ve completed in my Quilt Blocks category.

This block is an easy skill level block called “Hope of Hartford”, adapted from a 1945 block.  It is very simple to construct even though there are partial seams in it.  The good instructions will lead you right through it.

Victory Quilts–Airplane Block

Here is another block from the 20 in Eleanor Burns’ new Quilt-in-a-Day book, Victory Quilts – 1942 Sampler Quilts.  See other blocks I’ve completed in my Quilt Blocks category.

This is an intermediate skill level block called “Airplane”, adapted from a 1929 pattern.  It’s probably rated intermediate because a template is used, but it’s really a simple block to construct.
