Block books

Pattern Books

Fat Quarter Patterns
Pattern Books
Anything else you can think of girls!!
All suggestions welcome,
Love Ells xx

I really liked Fons and Porter "Quilter's Complete Guide" It really breaks everything down step by step with very clear pictures and directions. It gave me the confidence to branch out it all kinds of directions with my quilting.

Before you buy, go to your library and look at the books you're thinking of. I'm always amazed at how different my opinion is after I've taken the time to look through them. I've ended up buying ones that hadn't occurred to me and not buying ones that looked so good online. Everyone's taste is different so it's hard to buy by someone else's idea of what's good.

I would go to your public library - to check to see what they have - Pam Bono has a couple of great Rotary cutting books - Carol Doak PP - Love Fons & Porter depends on what style you are looking for.

Fons and Porter Complete Guide
Quilt in a Day books Eleanore Burns. I especially like the Log Cabin book and the Under Ground Rail Road book.
