All of the fabric manufacturers have lots of free patterns on their websites. My favorite is Art Gallery. They put out a "lookbook" for each new fabric line. My brain is not quite in gear yet this morning, so the names aren't up front..Michael Miller is one good example though.

A lot of manufacturers do this. You can see tons of fabrics, past present and future, on Moda's website. Jaftex owns Free Spirit, Studio e, Henry Glass, Blank Quilting, and a few others. They publish their lookbooks (you can view them online) and encourage people to contact their local quilt shops if they see something they like.

Try Google - type in the kind of quilt pattern that interests you. Then click on images. Here are a few examples:
spiral quilt pattern
landscape quilt pattern
japanese quilt pattern
asymmetric quilt pattern
If you wish to exclude pinterest from your results, just add the word pinterest with a hyphen before it, like this:
art quilt pattern -pinterest
Have fun browsing!

I really like Jordan Fabrics to watch and she has such great tutorials and gives wonderful tips for making quilts. She also has a lot of free patterns that you can print out. Also, I watch MSQC and follow Jenny Doan's tutorials. Good luck on your search for inspiration. There is a picture forum on this board that is fun to browse thru too.
