I have to admit to being a collector of books and don't necessarily have a favorite. I just love having them to leaf through on a quiet night when hubby is in bed already!

I love all of the Kaffee Fasset books. Such wonderful eye-candy that just soothes the quilter's soul!

To shake it up a bit - New Cuts for New Quilts - More Ways to Stack the Deck by Karla Alexander. Whole lot of shaking going on there!

Don't you just love her? Have you seen her on "Simply Quilts"? She is a stitch. I have her books too.

Question: is the Complete Guide to Quilting the same as Quilter's Complete Guide?

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!

That is also my favorite. I have used it for years. Everytime I look through it I see something different.
