501 quilt blocks is my favorite book. :)
I am making the backing using pieced letters and I learned how to make all the letters in that book. How can you go wrong with a book that shows you how to make 501 quilt blocks!

Ruth McDowell, Piecing Workshop. I learned how to piece pretty much anything from that. It's not the quickest method on the planet, but then you're not using it for traditional geometric block quilts, you're using it for art quilts and the like (made a couple of gorgeous baby quilts, for instance).

I haven't made several quilts of any of her books, but like her simplicity.
