May 2012 Desktop Calendar

Because we've opened the Cabin Too retreat this year, I'm making all of this year's calendars log cabins or log cabin variations. This one uses a Twisted Log Cabin block that I found in Electric Quilt's EQ7 program...my ONLY design tool since they came out with EQ as a DOS program about 15 years ago. This particular block can be paper pieced with foundation patterns printed directly from the program. But I'm SO not tempted to do it.
Click on the calendar to expand the image to full size, then right-click and choose Set as Wallpaper or Background. To really jazz up your desktop, right-click on your background and choose a color that coordinates with the calendar - or do like I do, and set your background color to black. It goes with everything and really makes the colors pop! And when your friends say, "Where did you get that?" Send them to see me!

This pattern is BEAUTIFUL!!! I can't get over the colors and the "swirlyness" (a new word I just made up) :) I do not have EQ7, an investment I would really like to make, but haven't been able to. Is there anyway to get this pattern in another format? And if so, where could I find it? I am just dying to try it! Thank you for the wonderful calendars! I love seeing them on my desktop each month!
