    Sensational Sets & Borders from Rodales Successful Quilting Library, by Rodale Press, Inc, c1998.

    I just got it today through my library's inter-library loan. This is one I'm going to buy, to keep on hand!!! Out of all the quilting books I've had, or seen, this is by far my favorite!

    I've been watching pictures of the round robins on here, and want to try making one of my own. This book is perfect for ideas, and how to's!!!
    It also shows tons of different setting options for blocks, etc! How to do a mitered border, add sashings, do 'puzzle settings', etc. Lots of pictures!

    Check it out if you get a chance!
    :D

    All of the books in that series that I have seen are great, Diana. Grab every one you can find. They're getting scarce. They are well written, clearly illustrated and explain things perfectly without talking to you like you're five years old. I have 5 of them and they are my most used quilting books of all.

    Thanks Ghostrider, I've not heard of the series before! I'll have to keep my eyes open for some of the others!
