We’ve rounded up three of our favorite modern quilting patterns in one eBook, available to you as a FREE download just for signing up for our free bi-weekly eNewsletter, McQ News.
The Rainbow Rhythm lap quilt pattern utilizes fat quarters plus a small amount of yardage to make a striking asymmetrical design. Whether you have stacks of fat quarters waiting for the right project, or are looking for an excuse to buy more, this pattern is a great way to put them to good use.
The Baubles and Beads pattern shown above is as welcome as a spring breeze. Cutting instructions call for assorted yardage cut from bolts; you might like to try substituting precut 2 1/2″ strips from a jelly roll of fabric. Tracee, one of our graphic designers, used this pattern for Little Tee’s quilt as part of her special 2013 project, 36 Quilts in 12 Months – click here to see her unique version of this free Baubles and Beads pattern.
The easy-peasy Lemon Squeezy quilt pattern shown above features a fun and interesting quilt-as-you-go technique. You’ll piece and quilt this bright throw in one easy construction step, so when the piecing is done, the quilting is done, too…just add binding. It’s perfect for a super-fast gift quilt.

I entered my email, and the red download button does not work. I could not download the patterns.
After clicking the red “Get My FREE eBook Now” button to the right of the email box, click the red “Download Now” button on the following page. The eBook should download immediately at that point; if not, please check your web browser settings. The eBook download file name is “eBook2013.LR.pdf”.
I too tried to down load the e pattern but nothing happened when I clicked the red button.
I found the page to be annoying. Download now takes you to the next page, where it shows THREE separate places to enter your email address. It’s overkill and confusing. There are not three offers- one descriptive block and one place to enter to get it is enough! Then it takes you to a third page where you have to click again your confirmation for the ebook. This process could be cleaned up immensely. That second page of discriptions was a total waste of time and space (all the descriptions are on the page we see now!)- and the click should have taken you to a the simple enter your email and click download, which should have just started the download!
Hi Shelley, Thanks for taking the time to express your frustration and offer feedback regarding access to the free eBook. The splash page for the Modern Quilt Patterns eBook is utilized to advertise elsewhere, but I blog about the eBook here to make sure our regular readers don’t miss out, and I’m afraid the splash page is the only way to gain access to the free eBook link! I can certainly understand the feeling of ‘overkill’, but I hope you’ll still enjoy the 3 free patterns.
I cannot download, its not a very friendly system, could be a lot sinpler. I have reentered my email address 3 times and tried to download.
