And ...I would recommend "Quilters Academy" Vol 1-Freshman Year by Harriet & Carrie Hargrave-can be found on Ebay or Amazon at good prices: Also "The Quilters Ultimate VISUAL GUIDE" is is a Rodal Quilt Book- great tips and suggestions. Also can be found on Ebay or Amazon- last one I got I paid $4.00.

The quilting magazines all have some basic instructions and some beginner quilt patterns. Good luck and enjoy yourself. Also this board has wonderful Ladies with lots of experience that love to help each other.

Ditto on BH&G Complete Guide to quilting. When I first was learning to quilt, I asked a long-time-quilter-friend what book I should buy for a "reference" book........she suggested it and glad she did.

I still refer back to it every once in a while, and it takes you through the entire process of making a quilt.

For quilting: Quilts, Quilts, Quilts. Several quilts to make with patterns, how to enlarge a block, etc. I have used it many times over the years. Check your local library or buy it http://www.amazon.com/Quilts-The-Com.../dp/0844226173. I have had great success with the used books here or slightly used.
