I love the "encyclopedia of basic quilts"

This is one I use frequently. Then I have a "quilt book that isn't very good but it was my Mom's and I would not ever get rid of this one. It is sorta like my Mom's cookbook.

Here are some recent links from this board. There are many more if you type "favorite quilting book" into the search blank. Fun to read.

Better Home and Gardens Complete Guide to Quilting, is the book I started with and still go to. I'm self taught it really helps.

I have several books, but don't know if any would be my favorite. I do get books from the local library & love so many of them. I get alot of ideas from them & the best thin is, I don't have to pay a cent for them.
