Another site that i use often is Weddingdressblue. Good clear photos in her tutorials and so many free patterns. Many are 2Inch squares but they easily translate to 2.5 in. I have made about 6 of her patterns and currently working on a baby quilt using the Star Kissed pattern. Love the results from all of the patterns. My avitar is a version of Growing up Odd from WDB. Take a quick wander for some good ideas.
