What is your "go to" favorite quilting book? Mine is Fons & Porter "Quilters Complete Guide."
What is your favorite pattern book? The one you seem to make several patterns from? Mine is Eleanor Burns "Quilts Through the Seasons."

I have a ton of books, so you would think i'd already have done a tion of quilts....not so. But, I did pick up BH&G, 501 Quilt Blocks book at the Temple quilt show I recently attended!!! This will probably be it!!!

My own personal binder of quilt patterns... separately bought patterns and a few cut out from magazines!! I page through it so often!! Originally it was Joanne's quilt book which is a great reference when you are starting out

For me it's Barbara Brackman's Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns.
Apart from supplying endless inspiration, the effort that must have gone into collecting and somehow organizing all these patterns just boggles my mind.

For reference purposes, I love "Quilter's Complete Guide" by Fons and Porter and "The Quilters Ultimate Visual Guide: From A to Z" ... both are great! But when I just want to be inspired, I love books with just tons of quilt blocks in them. They don't have traditional step-by-step patterns, but can be easily done up with graph paper or a quilting software program, like Electric Quilt. The top ones I love are: "The It's Okay If You Sit On My Quilt Book" by Mary Ellen Hopkins, "849 Traditional Patchwork Patterns" by Susan Winter Mills, "5,500 Quilt Block Designs" by Maggie Malone, "Once More Around the Block" by Judy Hopkins, and "101 Nine Patch Quilts" by Marti Michell. I have over 100 quilt books and order most of them "used" through Amazon and I've never had a problem with any of the transactions.

The Quilter's Catalog is a great reference book! It covers everything quilting, has bios and all types of subjects are covered not just beginning quilting etc. First quilt book I have read cover to cover.
