Like others I surf the web on blogs,also sometimes I just punch in words on google such as the color/type of quilt and look to see what pops up(both on the info pages and images section) I have tons stored in folders in my 'puter of downloaded free patterns this way. Moda bakeshop/recipe is a terrific way also to download free patterns. Often times when I visit the blogs of quilters I click on their fav bloggers listed on their site and spend way to many hours looking at them,and overloading my files with patterns/tutorial.
