I agree -- the Stars Across America has so many hints. My first EB book was the Log Cabin book and I still look it up.

And then there are the books of blocks -- ideas waiting to happen.. OK -- too many to count.

Like many of you, there are SO many to choose from! I DO like The Quiltmaker's Gift and its sequel, The Quiltmaker's Journey. I also have one volume of Quilts from The Quiltmaker's Gift.

Just for quilting history, I like The Mountain Artisans Quilting Book by Alfred Allan Lewis. It was published in 1973 and has lots of history and information...and the work is hand-done! This book was given to me by a friend who got it at a rummage sale for next-to-nothing. She herself doesn't quilt, but knew I would appreciate the workmanship presented in these pages.
