The National Quilt Museum challenged quilters to create original quilts based on classic Oak Leaf & Reel block patterns for their New Quilts from an Old Favorite contest. Twenty-eight quilters from 15 U.S. states and Taiwan, Germany, and Israel modified the block design in imaginative ways, providing a wonderful look at the skills, techniques, and creativity of today's quiltmakers.
