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

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

  4. 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.
