I just used her book on the Night and Day block. Has several different variations and additional patterns for the scraps.
I have two others that I haven't touched yet, but I'm sure they will be easy to follow with positive results.

I was at the San Deigo quilt show and she said her old original book, signed copy, recently went for $2500 on ebay. Hold onto that one.

I taught myself to quilt with her very first book "Log Cabin in a Day." It has hand drawn pictures and is in black & white. I still have it.

I agree that her quilt books are great. One thing I really like about her quilt patterns is that when you cut your strips or blocks they are cut a tad larger than necessary & then when you join the pieces you trim the blocks to the right size. I don't know about the rest of you, but I have a problem cutting & sewing absolutely accurately. Her methods make it a lot easier to end up with the right size blocks.
