I have the Fons and Porter one and love looking through every now and than. Nice thing about it is that it is spiral bound. Not even sure if they are printed that way anymore.

I have to say I refer the my 501 Quilt Blocks by BH&G all the time. It's where I learned how to make the binding for quilts. A friend gave it to me as a gift when I helped her (well, I actually ended up doing it myself) make a fundraiser quilt for our local elementary school.But, I also like Eleanor Burns books.

I have too many favorites. Just about the time I think I have a favorite...I find another. I did find the trick to getting straight cuts out of the Fon's & Porter book though. That one technique is the building block of everything I quilt.

Quilt In A Day books are my collectors items.
El Burns methods are fool proof and easy.
I use Joanns coupons to buy them.

I've read suggestions to do that many times, but just started one.

Thanks Charismah. I haven't seen one, I'll have to research it.
