I found that having too many quilting books ended up being more of burden than an enjoyment so for the last few years I've been very careful with my selection of books. I have favorite quilting authors that I have found to be very good.
Harriet Hargrave (Quilter's Academy Vol. 1, 2, 3...4 comes out in June)
Cathy Wierzbicki
Eleanor Burns
Lynette Jensen (Thimbleberries)
I love the book " The Border Workbook" for ideas on different pieced borders.
I recently bought the book "501 Quilting Motifs" to get ideas on quilting.
I mainly use my books to get ideas for my quilts and ideas about what colors I want to use. Then I go to eq and either draw out my ideas or see if the block is in the block library.
