I bought Quilts, Quilts, Quilts and More Quilts (by same author) in 1992. That is when I first started quilting. Those were my only two books I had for many years. They had everything I needed in them. If you go to craftsy.com, and go to quilting, look for Craftsy BOM 2013. One of the authors of those books did a whole year of BOMs. You can watch her make blocks and she gives excellent tips along the way. Tips I've never known about. I think you would be satisfied with her first book, for sure. I still use it, 22 year later. I have many books now, but none that teach you to quilt. I'm so glad I bought Quilts, Quilts, Quilts.
