Lets start quilting!

Welcome to 2012, quilters! I've been thinking a lot about the theme for January and then I thought "every quilt needs a starting point"! So this month, I thought I would share with all of you some free patterns to get the creative juices flowing (even though most of us have about 50 unfinished projects...). I hope you all enjoy perusing the many FREE patterns. There's so much more out there, if you feel like this isn't enough for you. Also, if you have some favorites you'd like to share, please post them in the comments section. We'd love to see em. Happy quilting!
