I have to say I refer the my 501 Quilt Blocks by BH&G all the time. It's where I learned how to make the binding for quilts. A friend gave it to me as a gift when I helped her (well, I actually ended up doing it myself) make a fundraiser quilt for our local elementary school.But, I also like Eleanor Burns books.

I have too many favorites. Just about the time I think I have a favorite...I find another. I did find the trick to getting straight cuts out of the Fon's & Porter book though. That one technique is the building block of everything I quilt.

I've read suggestions to do that many times, but just started one.

Thanks Charismah. I haven't seen one, I'll have to research it.
