Welcome!
I've created this site so that I could refer friends and family to my favorite quilting sites and also to my own personal "block swap" sites.
Please see below for links to my favorite sites.  I've not listed every site I've seen like you'll find on some quilting sites, I've only listed my favorite places.  These sites are those which I find to have excellent patterns, a large variety of patterns or unusual patterns  and to be very useful.
SWAPS:
Ongoing
HST Monthly Swap--Very handy as a filler for any quilt.

GENERAL QUILTING SITES:

Claudia's Quilt Shoppe
Free Block of The Month patterns!  Very nice site and several excellent patterns.
HGTV
If you haven't been to HGTV, you should! Simply search for "quilts".  You will also find tons of craft ideas, home improvement, gardening...the list goes on.

You can certainly find too many to make here.  The instructions are concise and easy to understand.  This is probably my favorite place to browse patterns and, if I need a particular pattern, I look here first.
