Ok. I am working on building a basket of quilt supplies for someone who is just starting quilting and thank you for all your ideas in an earlier post.. Now if you could choose only one or two quilt how-to books to have, which would it be? Thank you

You might also add in a list of links to helpful pages such as
Quilterscache.com and
http://quilting.about.com/od/stepbys...ke_a_quilt.htm
Just two of many.:)

"Quilting for Dummies" if she's just starting. Covers everything from fabric, thread and needle choices, seaming, batting, quilting. I picked it up about a year or so after I started quilting and found easier ways to do stuff and bad habits that I aquired that I didn't know were bad habits.
After that - a book with several easy patterns in it. Perhaps a Log Cabin book as there are so many different ways to put the same block together. Also teaches pretty elementary piecing that given the right color choices/placement can still have that WOW effect.

Better Homes and Gardents complete guide to quilting. I has many pictures and gives several ways to do the same thing. I have been quilting for 3 years and just went back to it today for find out how to do scalloped borders.
