This is the final of 20 blocks I’ve been sewing and posting from Eleanor Burns’ new Quilt-in-a-Day book, Victory Quilts – 1942 Sampler Blocks. See other blocks I’ve completed in my Quilt Blocks category.
This is an easy skill level block called “Brave World”. It was a simple block to construct and I think it turned out very pretty.
The book was a Mother’s Day gift and I’ve had a lot of fun trying out each of the block patterns which will eventually be made into a sampler quilt. Naturally, any one of the blocks or a combination could be used in a quilt and there are many suggested layouts throughout the book. There are also patterns for some interesting borders along with instructions for assembling and finishing quilts.
This is a beautiful hard cover book with lots of pictures of quilts and also of World War II memories. There are instructions for 6″ and 12″ blocks – 12 easy skill level, 3 intermediate skill level, and 5 advance level blocks – something for everybody. I highly recommend the book.
This sounds like a wonderful quilt book about both quilts and WWII memories. I love vintage fabrics so these patterns should be just perfect!
