Delaware Quilts offers many block patterns, in several sizes, for download in .pdf format

Creative Bug offers lots of crafty info. Check the Quilting tab for techniques, quilt patterns, etc.

Paper Pieces has precut shapes for English paper piecing, a good sheet on No Waste Flying Geese.

A tutorial for Susie's Magic Binding is available from Aunt Marti's 52 Quilts. This is a back-to-front binding that yields a look of piping at the edge of the binding on the front. Also, try Jean's Genius Binding - it's a front-to-back binding without the flange.  Both are finished with machine stitching - you need a stitch-in-the-ditch foot for your machine. No hand stitching required!
