I have 2 different favorite authors - one is Nancy Johnson-Srebro who has 2 books with rotary cut patterns of people, animals, etc made from squares and triangles. They are called Block Magic. the other is Around the Block series by Judy Hopkins. Again, they are rotary cut patterns for lots of traditional quilt blocks. Both sets have cutting dimensions for multiple sized blocks and I seem to use them over and over.

The variety of books available is fantastic; choosing a quilting book can be overwhelming. But, each one offers a different view and opens up many more opportunities.

I think may favorite quilt book was my first "Lapquilting" by Georgia Bonesteel. It started my on my love of quilting. I have to limit my purchasing of quilt books, so I try to buy the books with just quilt blocks, past and new. I have lots of plans in my head and fabric waiting to become new projects and quilts.

who needs a quilting book when I can get all the patterns and advice I need right here on the quilting board?

"The Quilters Ultimate Visual Guide" A to Z-Hundreds of Tips and Techniques for Successful Quilt Making, (Hardbound book cover, 288 pages)
Editor: Ellen Pahl
Book Company: Rodale
In this book, well known quilt makers share their knowledge and expertise about basic quilt making, specialized techniques, tools, supplies, quilt genres, and just about anything you ever wanted to know about quilt making. I ordered it through www.Amazon.com I love this book!

My go to book is The Quilters Edge by Darlene Zimmerman. This book is all about borders, bindings and finishing touches.

Thanks for the question.

I'm always looking at quilting books but never know which are the most helpful.

My favorite is Reversible Quilts by Anita Murphy. This book is fantastic for beginners. I have used her method of quilting for almost every quilt I've made since. Her two color binding is easy to make. It's been out of print for years.
