Welcome from Virginia! You will find a treasure of info, patterns, and ideas here. Honestly, there is not much need for books anymore. Maybe an old standard like "Quilts, Quilts, Quilts" by McClune or a basic book by Fons and Porter to get you started. Search "Scrappy Quilt Show right here" on QB and you will find close to 200 pages of pictures and comments. I could spend all day just enjoying all the eye candy. Enjoy!
