Free desktop wallpaper

As I mentioned last month my personal mini design challenge this year is to produce a free desktop wallpaper with a calendar each month as a small gift to my readers.

Last month I was asked for a solid crazy quilt image as a desktop wall paper. So as requested here it is. I found it hard to find a spot that the calendar could sit on! 

To download, choose the size appropriate to your screen and right click on the link to download.

I thought people might like a cleaner look and for those folks I hope you enjoy this image.

 These are the different sizes I have made these wallpapers in. If you need another size leave a comment let me know and next month I will make a version to suit your screen.

This wallpaper is lovely, it's a pity Februari only has 28 days! Thanks for sharing this.

Oh Sharon this is beautiful and so handy to have the calendar open on the desktop.
Thanks for your generosity in sharing.

Thank you for the lovely wallpaper. I hesitate to complain, but the 1280 x 800 comes up as January. Which is OK. I chose another size and it looks lovely, just with a border around it.

Thanks Kathleen for letting me know. I thought I have checked all the links. I have fixed it now.

Thanks for the wallpaper. My screen is 1440x900 for future reference; please include this size next month.
