    This is one I use frequently. Then I have a "quilt book that isn't very good but it was my Mom's and I would not ever get rid of this one. It is sorta like my Mom's cookbook.

    Here are some recent links from this board. There are many more if you type "favorite quilting book" into the search blank. Fun to read.

    I have several books, but don't know if any would be my favorite. I do get books from the local library & love so many of them. I get alot of ideas from them & the best thin is, I don't have to pay a cent for them.
