I just wondered, what do you think some of the best quilting books are? What are your personal favorites and if you have time, why do you like them?
Thanks!
Ruth McDowell's books about piecing pictorial flowers and landscapes. She is one nice lady! It is a different approach to cutting and sewing pieced pictures. It is not appliqe, and she shows how to make large dramatic elements in her quilts.
