I just received '501 Rotary-Cut Quilt Blocks' by Judy Hopkins (not to be
confused with 501 Quilt Blocks by Better Homes and Gardens - ask how I
know LOL) and 'Sew One and You're Done' by Evelyn Sloppy. Both highly
recommended.
The first one has all the blocks you can imagine in every size you need.
I know there's quilterscache but this book has different blocks and easy
to browse. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. ;-)
The 'Sew One and You're Done' - they have some nice blocks and as the
title suggests you make one block and you have a quilt. The size of the
block varies from 45" to 56". Some look complicated but are quite easy.
I think I'm really going to enjoy both books as they both have lots of stars
which I am into right now. If you don't have these books, check them out
at your library if you can. I think they are worth it.
How about you? Any new books? Maybe we can keep this thread going to
add our newly acquired books.

EasyPeezy, those are both excellent books. I've had them in my collection for a year and enjoy browsing thru them all the time. I also highly recommend them.
I haven't bought any new books lately with money being tight. Thankfully there's plenty of free patterns for me to choose from.

I just bought Judy Martin's new book on Log Cabins b/c I'm making 3 for my boys and want them to all look different.
I also bought Barbara Brackman's book on antique fabric b/c the 3 Log Cabins are being made with all antique cottons.
I love Barbara B's quilt history books. Fascinating reading!! :D

Our county library has their book sale this Saturday. DD and I went yesterday and helped set up for several hours. When all was said and done, we helpers got first choice of the books to buy. I found three quilt books:
More Lap Quilting by Georgia Bonesteel-$2.00
Best-Selling Bazaar Patchwork from Oxmoor House- $2.00
and my favorite; Better Homes & Gardens 101 full-size Quilt Blocks and Borders (with the templates)-$2.00
I'm a happy camper. :lol:

Recently I bought 2 books on color analysis, and a small portable color wheel. I am going to start teaching quilting, and I haven't taken a color class, so am learning it this way.
