SKILL LEVEL: EASY / INTERMEDIATE

Victory Quilts represents a look back in history to the 1940's and life on the home front during the War years. This Sampler Quilt 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 that era and each one a symbolic remembrance: Sky Rocket recognizes the tragic bombing of Pearl Harbor; Broken Sugar Bowl brings to mind rationing during the War; Signal Light recalls air raid warnings; Army Star honors our Armed Services.

Along with strip piecing, Eleanor teaches her techniques for squaring up triangle pieced squares, applique, flying geese patches, Y seams, 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 tablerunner.

Victory Quilts contains yardage and cutting charts for several quilt sizes and the blocks can be made in either 12" or 6" finished sizes. The book has over 200 pages and includes traceable templates. Eleanor also shares a recipe for Sugarless Cake, a popular treat in wartime when sugar was rationed.

Natalie O. ★★★★★

I really appreciated the historical touch in the patterns—it brought back memories of my grandmother's quilting. The sampler approach made it easy to practice different techniques without feeling overwhelmed.

Sebastian U. ★★★★★

The skill level guide was spot on—I’m a beginner and the easy steps made my first quilt look great. The sampler patterns really capture that wartime feel without being too complicated.

Harper T. ★★★★★

The 1940s home front theme really comes through in the patterns, and the sampler format keeps each block interesting without feeling repetitive. Even as someone who's tackled a few intermediate quilts, the historical notes and technique variety made this a fun, rewarding project.
