Jim gave me Leisure Arts Presents Quilter's Complete Guide by Fonz and Porter a few years back. It has helped me many times.
|
The Quilter's Academy books by Harriet and Carrie Hargrave.
|
I third agree with this choice. Just one book? Pick this.:)

Quilting techniques are continuously evolving though, as shown by the recent use of Elmer's glue for just about everything. http://www.amazon.com/Art-Classic-Qu...ic+quiltmaking

I second better homes. It has been my most used book. I always refer to it and it is pretty in depth for most categories an all around good book. spiral bind it so it lays flat
|
I also recommend the Better Homes & Gardens Guide to Quilting and The Quilter's Catalog has extensive information on many areas of quilting. My sister loves her Quilter's Bible.

Besides a book I would say search out videos . Some fantastic ones and some funny ones. Have a look at them .
|
My "go to" is Better Homes and Gardens Complete Guide to Quilting, supplemented by Quilters Academy Vol. 1 - Freshman Year.
I am also a new quilter, so both these books are very helpful with plenty of pictures. |
I vote for Craftsy classes. You have the best quilting instructors from beginner to advanced 24/7.
|
The Quilters Bible by Linda Clements is also very good.
