Hello!!!!
I am a bit perplexed,,, I am trying to find a simple,, some what easy lighthouse pattern(s). I am going to make maybe 3 blocks and frame them and put on my bathroom wall,, IF,,, I could find the patterns. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I found a few, but you have to pay for them,,, and I am cost effective,,( AKA cheap, frugal, careful,, lol..)
Much appreciated,,,

There are a lot of PP'ing lighthouses out there that are very nice (don't be afraid). If they intimidate you, you could always cut the pattern apart, trace them out onto fabric with seam allowance and applique them on, if you like hand work.

Here is one that looks pretty easy. It is listed under specialty.

I had the same problem last year when I was doing a row robin in my quilt guild and the person wanted nautical. My solution was to print up pictures of a few different lighthouses and make paper piecing patterns of my own. I don't like applique. It's a matter of figuring out the straight lines and where the pattern needs to break off. The lighthouses turned out great.
