I had to stop quilting about 10 years ago (arthritis in my hands), gave away all my supplies and books.

While I've been on hiatus, the strip method seems to have completely dominated cutting and piecing methods to the point where it's impossible to find patterns giving template measurements.

As I said, I gave away my old pattern books - don't have a clue what the titles were. Can anyone recommend older books which were written before the Day of The Strip?

Thanks!

have some old books but im not exactly sure what you're looking for. Could you be more specific ? Will be glad to send you one.

If you go to http://www.quilterscache.com they have lots of blocks to piece with directions and sizes to cut everything. It's a free site so you don't have to pay anything to look. There are also lots of good tutorials on this site and others, quilterstv and youtube, for example.

I have some older books that were found in used book stores. Garage sales and estate sales are a good place to look too.

I can't help with the books, but wanted to say welcome.
