Free Quilt Block Patterns

I have always loved quilts.  Even as a child, I would trace the outline of the pieces that made up the quilt blocks of the old quilt that my grandma would use to cover me up when I spent the night at my grandparents’ house.

Although this was my paternal grandmother who had the hexies quilt that I liked to trace, it was my maternal grandmother who was the avid quilter.  It makes my heart happy to continue that craft that she so dearly loved.

When I was a young teen, my grandmother helped me make my first quilt.  She had many friends who quilted, so it was not difficult to find quilt block patterns that l liked.

We gathered the free quilt block patterns from her friends, and my first quilt was a sampler of many different quilt blocks. 

Now, as an adult, quilting has become my passion.  Quilting quiets my noisy and busy mind, and it gives me a chance to nurture my need to create beautiful things. 

I love giving my quilts away as gifts to family and friends, and the joy I find in quilting for charity is something I cannot begin to express.

And I still search for free quilt block patterns.  We at Needlepointers.com know you do too. So we have gathered a wide variety of free quilt block patterns for you to browse through.

By the way, quilting is the one of the first examples of upcycling, as the quilts were historically made from remnants of old fabric items to create something new.
