I can’t believe how much information people are sharing for free on how to do patchwork and quilting, it’s amazing! Here is a round-up on block tutorials that I’ve found so far:
- For the beginner:

- The Quilter’s Cache is dedicated to blocks and seems to be an absolutely fantastic resource as far as information goes
There most likely will come parts 2, 3 and more, so I’ll end the first round-up here and will conclude that while these tutorials are wonderful, I also feel a bit overwhelmed. For my personality I think it is easier in the beginning to refer to one of my handful of books purchased so far, since there is more coherence within the two covers of one volume, if you know what I mean.
