Foolish Goose Tracks is a free block of the month quilt finishing at 89″ x 106″. This BOM lasts for the next six months. The fabric requirements and first block have been posted already.

Be sure to check out Heather Finnell’s blog too for construction tips.

Jan Patek has some lovely free patterns available on her site. I really liked this one called Gatherings.

It’s made with scraps of tans, yellows, reds, blues and greens. The finished block is 16″ and the quilt measures 70″ x 86″.

There’s a new Quilt for an Hour project starting at the Patchwork Times. The quilt, Shine on Bayou Cane, finishes at 70″ x 81″. Get the fabric requirements now and start cutting.

Instructions, which should take about one hour to complete, will be posted on weekdays beginning Monday, October 6. These Quilt for an Hour projects are always fun and you’ll end up with a completed quilt top in about 15 hours or … 3 weeks!

There are some beautiful free patterns and blocks over at Quilt in a Day. There’s also some great instructions on using their rulers. All are in PDF format, for easy downloading and referencing later.

Judy over at Patchwork Times is offering a free Star Block of the Month type project starting August 1st. There are 13 blocks and 7 different borders. This quilt finishes at 92″ x 92″.

Head on over to Judy’s site to see some other colour variations for the quilt, get the fabric requirements and enter your fabric selections.

I’m hoping, if I’m really good this week and get lots of work done, i.e. that big-a** project I’ve been working on, I can participate in Judy’s next Quiltathon later this week. She even includes menu suggestions to make-ahead so you can spend even more time quilting. What a great idea.

Crazy Mom Quilts has an amazing Star Sampler that she’s presenting as a weekly quilt along. Her directions for putting together each star are fantastic. You can find each weekly installment on the right sidebar.

I plan on putting together a few of the stars and making a table runner or a smaller 4×4 or 6×6 block wall hanging.
