http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&keyw...s&link_code=qs the first one listed by carol doaks is a great one. i would print out the list, and go check out the library..or ebay or half.com |
I would just go to the library and start checking out books for beginner quilters or something. GOOD LUCK!

Use the library for now, so you can get more fabric, you will pick books up as you go along. I started out with 1 book, now I have a libary myself!

Your First Quilt Book...or it should be by Carol Doak
Quilter's Complete Guide by Fons & Porter Quilts, Quilts, Quilts by Diana McClun and Laura Nownes I used all 3 and they are great! When you search the title on Amazon...they offer a link to used ones at good prices. |
I recently got the Better Homes and Gardens Complete Guide to Quilting. It is a hardback with rings in side, lays flat, lots of pictures and excellent written information. It is laid out in a very logical and orderly manner.
I also have the Fons and Porter book. |

I taught a basic quilting class to a small group at church a few years ago....we used Pat Sloan's I can't believe I'm quilting. http://patsloan.biz/icantbelieveimquilting.aspx and there is now a follow up book to it.
