There's a wealth of information about patchwork and quilting on the Internet. When using a search engine like Google, you can often refine the results by using a relevant phrase - like, for example, "free quilt patterns" - in quotes. If you only type in free quilt patterns (without the quotation marks), you'll probably get a huge list with many useless links.
