All of the above books mentioned are great books for beginners. I myself have the Fons and Porter Complete Quilting Guide, and a Leisure Arts book, "Learn How to Quilt" that I used when I first started. I had no one to help me so learned all I did from these books.

I agree. This one is the best. I refer to it often.

Judy Martin's Log Cabin book. Good clear instructions for lots of beautiful quilts.

This was my first quilt book too. I still have dog-eared pages with patterns that I want to do from that book. It is my go-to book since I am still a newbie at quilting. Very easy to understand. The other book I bought at the same time is called, "Start Quilting with Alex Anderson" - 3rd edition.

Those were my first two books, and am still using them even now.

My first quilting book is Better Homes & Gardens Complete Guide to Quilting.

I used this book, she has several out, but it's great, has several different block patterns, so you get a real sampler option.
