Free quilt pattern dilemma
#1
Why is it when I google for free quilt patterns as I did for the Log Cabin and Flying Geese this morning, that it takes me everywhere but where I want to go. I click on this and have to click on that and by the time I finish clicking I am out of the mood. Is it just me or why can't it just take me to the pattern?

I find tons and tons of free quilt patterns. Just about every fabric line has free patterns and several of the online quilt shops have free patterns too. And there's always quilter's cache.

Lots of bloggers post tutorials with a free pdf attached. I go into Google blog search - from their home page click on "more," then on "blogs" and put in "quilt tutorial" (in quotes). I get better "hits" than I do through their top level.

I'm still a Google fan, but you have to be very specific. It also helps to viewed the cached version of the page if available, so that you can scan down the page quickly for the color coding associated with the name of the pattern you want.
