ABOUT BLOCK CENTRAL:

Block Central began in April 1998 as "A Quilter's Coloring Book", a collection of coloring pages designed to help quilters experiment with various color choices.  I began adding a link to a free pattern at the bottom of each coloring page and it was during searches for free quilt patterns that I became aware of the volume of free patterns available.  At that time, I was not aware of any sort of directory for these patterns, so.........I started one.  I called the page (yes, it was only one page at that time!) "Block Central". Word spread and soon it became that most visited page of my site, so I decided to change the site name to what most people were calling it anyway, "Block Central".

Since that time, Block Central has grown and I have added several other sections to the site, but the most popular section still is, and will always be, the directory of free quilt block patterns.  I appreciate all of you who have sent links, corrections, suggestions, and good old-fashioned "thank-you's".  You have made the maintenance of this site very enjoyable.

As the days and years have gone by, I am still humbled by the enormity of this thing we call the World Wide Web and more so by the incredible, giving nature of quilters all around the world.  To share seems to be second nature to quilters and this is expressed in the enormous amount of quilting information that is shared and enjoyed by so many on a daily basis.  It has been my supreme pleasure to point someone to the information source needed to help them complete a project, make a special gift for a special person, or to help them discover the world of quilting.  To all of those wonderful people who have taken a moment to share their knowledge with the world via the internet........Thank You!
