Hi everyone
Before I go beserk on Amazon and choose unwisely, please may I have your suggestions for books. I like tradional style quilts and I like to rotary cut, machine piece but hand & machine quilt. I think I need: Block books Technique Books Pattern Books Jelly Roll/Layer Cake Patterns Fat Quarter Patterns Pattern Books Anything else you can think of girls!! All suggestions welcome, Love Ells xx |
I really liked Fons and Porter "Quilter's Complete Guide" It really breaks everything down step by step with very clear pictures and directions. It gave me the confidence to branch out it all kinds of directions with my quilting.

Before you buy, go to your library and look at the books you're thinking of. I'm always amazed at how different my opinion is after I've taken the time to look through them. I've ended up buying ones that hadn't occurred to me and not buying ones that looked so good online. Everyone's taste is different so it's hard to buy by someone else's idea of what's good.

My need for books change as my skills and interests change. At the moment I look for all things paper piecing and design more than patterns or blocks.

In no particular order:
Setting Solutions It's OK to Sit On My Quilt The Art of Machine Piecing The big book of scrap quilts 101 fabulous rotary cut quilts |
I would go to your public library - to check to see what they have - Pam Bono has a couple of great Rotary cutting books - Carol Doak PP - Love Fons & Porter depends on what style you are looking for.
