So, what are all of you're favorite quilting books?
Inquiring mind/s want to know.
I'll start off,
The quilting sourcebook, great for names etc..

any quilt in a day books by eleanor burns

Thimbleberries:)

do I have to pick a favorite - I love all of my books - but specifically it would depend on what quilting mode I was in at the time...right now I am so into applique so my fav book is applique quilt revival and blacka nd white quilts...

I like the better homes and gardens all about quilting book :D

Any books by Design Originals are great - lots of easy projects!

Quilter's Complete Guide by Fons and Porter

Hard to choose just one, but I find the ones I use most often as a reference are QUILTS! QUILTS! QUILTS! and QUILT! QUILTS! AND MORE QUILTS! by Diana McClun and Laura Nownes. All of the other books I thumb through for inspiration. I love them all. Really like 101 FABULOUS ROTARY-CUT QUILTS by Judy Hopkins and Nancy J Martin. Then Mary Ellen Hopkins' IT'S OKAY IF YOU SIT ON MY QUILT BOOK is great for reference.

in addition to the quilting sourcebook, I thought of more books :wink:
Yes, I have quilts! Quilts!! and more Quilts!!! is a good book. I also really like Quilting for Dummies by Cheryl Fall

This is my favorite also. Gives me all the info I need.

I have more books and magazines on quilting than will ever use.
But the easiest and best are Quilt in a Day. Her instructions are always the quickest and easiest to do. My best quilts are using her books.

I echo Cathe and Littlehud

Quilter's Complete Guide by Fons and Porter

It has great instructions for so many things. I have a sticky note on the page where they do bias binding.

Oh my gosh I couldn't pick just one....or even 10....I like them all!.....

I also like all the above.

I also like PATTERN PLAY by Doreen Speckman.

I love quilting books, magazines, brochures and can't get enough LOL....choosing just one is next to impossible for me. If I were stranded on a desert island with my supplies and could take just one book, it'd have to be Applique Quilt Revival: Updated Patterns from the 30s by Nancy Mahoney. It combines two of my favorites (for the moment) applique and 30s reproductions and it is absolute eye candy.

Doreen was a dear. I have her Travels with Peaky and Spike.

I'm with gcathie, I love all my books and am always looking for more. I re-read all my mags. over and over.

My favourite was published in 1949. "The Standard Book of Quilt Making and Collecting" by Marguerite Ickis. A great reference book that's interesting to read.

Picking one book would be like picking just one fabric. I like them all and I have more than my share. I'm always checking the used book store or even antique stores if I see they have books.
One I do reference alot is the Fons and Porter book. It is full of basic information on setting squares and triangles, borders and bindings.
What more can I say, they are all good, depending on my mood, the time of day or what is going on in my life.

I am a quilting book addict. I have vol.1 thru 8 of Better homes and Gardens Quilt Lovers Favorites. Several from House of White Birtches with Sandra Hatch editor. I just love them. I know I will never make all the quilts but they are sure fun to read and look to inspire Me.
