✈️Inspirations Quilt Block: 1940–1960 ✈️
This block honors an incredible chapter of history and the women who helped shape it.
During World War II, a select group of women served as pilots in the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) program. These trailblazers flew over 60 million miles, piloting everything from fighter planes to the heaviest bombers in the Army Air Force fleet.
🧵 This block represents the 1940–1960 era of quilting, a time reflected in Victory Quilts and Sampler Quilts, capturing both patriotism and resilience on the home front.
📖 Inspired by Victory Quilts and 1940 Sampler Quilts by Eleanor Burns
