Hi and welcome to the board from Iowa.

Hi and Welcome from NC! I'm self taught so I don't know about books but someone will :)

My fave is better homes and gardens complete guide to quilting

http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Guide...9073191&sr=1-1

Welcome and I am also self taught so do not know about books either Just find a pattern and go for it

Welcome from Kentucky! Look here: http://www.connectingthreads.com/cfb...tent=GOOGLE%20(Search)%20Books&utm_source=www.google.com

welcome from OK.
The #1 book I always suggest to NEW quilters is the Fons & Porter book "complete quilter's guide" http://www.amazon.com/Quilters-Compl...9074070&sr=1-6

It has it ALL from the first shopping trip to the binding and beyond. If you can find it Spiral bound that is best as it can lie flay while you work from it.

Have fun!

Welcome from Adrian, MI

I have a few beginners books, but I tell ya.. the BEST thing I ever did for myself was to take a beginners "sampler" class from a good quilter. She kept me away from developing bad habits, and she taught me how critical it was to LEARN exactly what a 1/4" is on your machine. That's critical for ending up with squared blocks and a squared quilt.

Also.. I have nabbed some GREAT tips watching Youtube tutorials. They have a TON of quilting tips on there and sometimes WATCHING someone do something is easier to comprehend then reading it in a book.

This board has a GREAT tutorial board! Lots of good tips to be had in there too. Not to mention MANY seasoned quilters hang out here to share advice so you won't get frustrated. We've ALL made many many mistakes..it's how we learn...lol

Good luck and WELCOME from the W. WA coast!

welcome from Ohio. can't recomend a book; I pic up a magazine or buy a pattern here n there. Have not seen too many Cherri's spell our name this way either

Go to the library and check out books. You will be able to learn a lot. If you find a book you really like, then you can purchase one.
