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.

Ellenor(?) Burns Quilt in a Day gives basic and then some, a quilt sampler teaches all kinds of blocks with cutting techniques and sewing. Amazon is a good place to get new and used books. 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.

I agree with Ellenor Burns books.....you can also go to goodwillbooks.com, I have found quilting books there for hardly nothing. Also another place to go is the find.com

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. |
I have the Better Homes and Garden Complete Guide to Quilting sitting next to my sewing machine. I taught myself paper piecing with it.

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.
