Quilts,Quillows and Quirky Quilting Quandries:
What can you do with 2 yards of assorted scrap fabrics? Cut them up into 3 1/2" strips, continuously piece them together, or cut them into segments (shown above) and lay your strips into 45" rows.Add a border or two and you'll end up with this simple scrap quilt that ends up being a wonderful 68" x 70".
What can you do with simple squares, cut to fit bars and strips...pretty much the same things..only add some simple appliques ..like hearts or stars!
Fast and easy! Don't like winging it? Need a quick and easy...and free!...pattern???
Check out these wonderful sites for a total of more than 2,500 free quilt patterns for free downloading! I've added so many new links with so many free pattern downloads in each one...I could be at 3,000 free patterns (easily) by now! But I'm not going to count again ;)
And if you were looking for a specific quilt BLOCK and not a Quilt Pattern: check out my other huge list here:Huge List of Free Quilt Block Patterns
And because my name and my blog comes up in search engines for Free Patterns for Charity or Giving Quilts...please note that any and all of these free quilt patterns and tutorials qualify as I choose to showcase easier to make quilts. It's what I love to do most and how I make and donate as many charitable donations as I do!
Free Quilt Patterns List 2015: (continually corrected and updated)
And I have to be honest with you! I have collected WAY MORE than 2,500 free quilt patterns. I could only count to 2,500 (well, the program I was using, anyway ;-) It might be 5,000 free patterns by now, because SO MANY of them link to a lot more than the one photo or one link I used!
Here are the thematic links that I have done specific posts on and/or made the quilts, myself. Then they are followed by individual listings, then themes, categories etc. as you move through the list. Not always alphabetized as that's a huge ongoing process..but I try my best!

Twelve Moons by Robert Kaufman
Vintage Quilt Pattern
The wonderful " Disappearing Nine Patch"seems to a technique in continual process of new and more involved variations. Simply put, a nine patch block is created and then sliced apart in a myriad of different cuts or with different color arrangements so it literally disappears and is replaced by four smaller units. Apparently, Karin Hallaby, wrote a book in 2002 called "Magic Pillows, Hidden Quilts, which included a Magic Nine Patch quilt made using the same technique that's so popular today. Nancy Brenan Daniel also wrote a book called Disappearing Nine Patch in 2002 but apparently it is quite different from what we are calling that style today. Eventually, an online blog by Helen Bailey, featured a tutorial about her own use of the disappearing nine patch but she referred to it by a different name. The same technique has been called Tossed Nine Patch (by Eleanor Burns) and (possibly) 9 to 4 by other quilters and authors.
And now of course, we have disappearing 4 patches, 9 patches, and on and on with so many fun and varied improvisations. But just to have a look, check out some of the images and links that I have discovered and create new and easy blocks and quilts of your own!
Let's start with some fun and simple 4 Packs as I share links to some tutorials and some different variations from what you might hink of as a D4P..or Disapearing 4 Patch, as well!
