The internet can be a valuable resource for quilting patterns and techniques. It is also great for communicating with other quilters both locally and around the world. Even if you don’t have a computer you probably know someone who does.
Some of my favorite spots on the web
Free patterns:
Quilters Cache http://www.quilterscache.com/QuiltBlocksGalore.html
Lots of blocks in alphabetical order or search by size or by order added to the site
Planet Patchwork http://www.planetpatchwork.com/
Several blocks of the month and helpful techniques
Quiltville http://quiltville.com/
Look in right column for free scrap quilt patterns and tips and techniques
