I took a look at my bookshelf last night and realize that I have a book for pretty much every occasion. Once the basics were covered, I added books on specific patterns. (Stars, attic windows, birds, etc). Got quite a few on using Scraps and/or Fat quarters. Then I have some for specific processes (Crayons, applique, painting, embellishing) and if one each is good - more is better. Most of them I browse through to get inspiration. Many I will never make, but they are still pretty to look at.
