My favorite is Mary Ellen Hopkins "Its OK If You Sit On My Quilt". It's an oldy but goody.

I also like 'The Border Workbook' by Janet Kime. Lots of borders and how to size them to your quilt. |
I found it.... http://quiltinaday.com/theater/3100/3104.html
just a thought..... several people have mentioned Eleanor Burns books and she has a wonderful place somewhere here on the net showing exactly how she makes many of the quilts people mentioned here... i am a visual person.. and really enjoyed it... just to a search for "quilt in a day TV".. free

I just wondered, what do you think some of the best quilting books are? What are your personal favorites and if you have time, why do you like them? Thanks! |
That Better Homes is a good book, especially for reference, for about everything. I like it, too.

It has everything you need! It is a large binder book with individual chapters. From measuring fabric to all the "how to's" you'll ever need. Well worth the price!!! |
My favorite is Quick Quilts From Your Scrap Bag by Leisure Arts. I have made several quilts from there and it is a great book to help rein in your scraps and use them. I love the Judy Martin books and then there is a Quilting 101 that is a great book for beginners, comes in handy for me even though I am an intermediate quilter.

My latest favorite which changes every day...is Summer Gatherings...because I can't wait for summer and I love the homespun type of quilts

The Quilters Ultimate Visual Guide edited by Ellen Pahl is my go-to when I can't remember how I did or should do something. It covers everything from fabric selection to binding.
