Two resources I've found that are really good are Janet Wickell (
http://quilting.about.com/) and Penny Halgren (
http://www.how-to-quilt.com/articles/).
Also the YouTube videos from Missouri Star Quilt Company are great... not only individual block and quilt patterns, but also techniques (binding, making half-square triangles, tube quilting, etc). Of course there are other YouTube quilters, too, some of them well-known, like Eleanor Burns, Fons & Porter, etc.
There are numerous sites that archive hundreds of free quilt patterns to downloaded. And I won't even attempt to mention all the great online quilt shops - some of them offer tutorials and free pattern downloads, too.
One can google almost anything... "easy quilts," "beginner quilts," "star quilt blocks," "English paper piecing," "Civil War quilts," and come up with more good stuff than one can ever possibly use in one lifetime.
They might have to cut you off, because you could easily talk all day long on this subject and not run out of things to say! Good luck!
