This is the book I learned with:

I still have it and use it. I liked it because it made a sampler that will expose you to all the basic quiltmaking techniques, straight seams, set in "Y" seams, applique, mitered borders, bias binding etc. It also gave recommended quilting designs for each block, along with pattern you could trace onto your completed block. It provided templates for all blocks but I ended up measuring the templates and cutting with my ruler. I loved this book for learning quilting and it gave me the confidence to try any pattern I see. I have since made attic windows, tumbling blocks and am currently working on a mariners compass quilt. Not only that but the finished sampler is a beautiful bed quilt.
