I picked up the 2011 calendar from the Packwood Museum on our trip earlier this summer.  Here are some pretty quilts from the calendar.

    Amazing what a twist and turn can do with a bunch of blocks, isn't it? I really like that quilt with the scallops in the border! ---"Love"

    So much you can do with one block! What about a quilt that combines all the different settings in the one colorway?

    I love the blue and white blocks....but then I saw the blue/yellow and red/green and I loved those too. Fun to play around with the blocks. Amazing how different the setting makes them look.

    Those chunky swags on the Irish Chain are wonderful!
