20 Free Quilt Patterns
Do you love a good freebie? I’ve rounded up twenty of my favorite free quilt patterns and I cannot wait to share them with you.
Over my quilting journey I’ve collected a whole stack of free patterns and actually made them too. Not only does it keep a few extra dollars in my pocket, it also gives me a peek into each designer’s writing style. We are all different humans with different learning styles, so what works perfectly for one person might make someone else want to run for a seam ripper. Maybe you love diagrams. Maybe you need a video. Maybe you live and breathe cutting charts. Free patterns are my favorite way to test the waters with a new designer or someone I haven’t tried before.
So go give these makers some love and tell them thank you. I can’t wait to hear which ones you fall in love with and what you end up making.

#4 - Tilda - library of free patterns
Tons of free projects and beautiful makes/quilts.
Tip: The Tilda website is a bit difficult to navigate when trying to locate a project. To prevent frustration, know the name of the pattern you are looking for, pop the name into google and see if you can locate it with a google search. The results are a free PDF that you can download and save.
