I have two used Debbie Mumm books from the 90's and the patterns are so cute. I also like my mini quilt books which I have 4 of.

I have some Debbie Mumm books too. They are so much fun to look at. I've never actually made anything from them though.

I like Eleanor Burns. I have lots of quilting books from my collection of books over the past 30 years

I have lots of books, have been collecting for years. I guess my favorite is 365 Fun-To-Stitch QUILT BLOCKS from house of White Birches. It is all 12.5 inch blocks, and so much fun to look at, and try new ones. Ones I have never seen anywhere else

Elly Sienkiewitz (sp?) Baltimore Album. I have most of her series. Then there's a scattering of everything imaginable!! My bible is Fons and Porter Complete Guide to Quilting (Actually had that spirl bound has highlighting and post-it-notes everywhere) I got it when I first started quilting. Like books on quilting designs, borders, blocks and color!

My newest favorites are: Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns and Encyclopedia of Applique both by Barbara Brackman.

The best book I have found is The Quilting Answer Book by Barbara Weiland Talbert-it has solutions and answers for just about everything.
