Depends. If I want something to go together easily, I go to Eleanor Burns for a pattern. If I don't find what I'm looking for there, I go to my stash of saved photos and patterns and if nothing there works, I go to Quilter's Cache.

Jenny Doan at MSQC has tons of free tutorials... usually a simplified way of doing classic blocks.
If you like scrappy quilts, the Quilted Twins website is loaded with free patterns. You can do any of them less scrappy and more planned, too. Love her quilts!

Pat Sloan always has free BOMs and QALs on her web site. (Block of the Months - Quilt Alongs)
Maybe one of these free sampler quilts will be just what you are looking for:

I’ve found a few sampler type from fat quarter shop, I’m doing the laundry basket quilts one “sew in love” right now, it’s beautiful. I too, am willing to pay a reasonable price for patterns. I especially appreciate the one I’m doing now because she includes videos and I’m a beginner.

Click on the quiltalong label. I made two of those , both turned out great, the instructions are flawless!

I buy some patterns but there's a ton of free patterns online with youtube tutorials from Missouri Star Quilt Company, Fat Quarter Shop, Craftsy, Sew Easy or just do a search. Here's one with thousands of patterns
www.freequiltpatterns.info/free-quilt-patterns-directory.htm
A lot of sites which feature fabric collections will offer free patterns such as Jane Sassaman http://www.janesassaman.com/Jane_Sas...Templates.html
There are a lot of individual tutorials from individuals like Angela Walters, Jean Truelove, Laura Ann Coia, Nancy Zieman (sadly recently deceased, but still online) too many to name really. Happy hunting!

Thanks for the ideas everyone. I have done most blocks in splendid sampler 1 in one way or another and splendid sampler 2 is the only project I currently have on the go. I am off to check other website suggestions now - thanks!
