Last November I bought Bonnie K. Hunter's book LEADEERS & ENDERs after attending one of her lectures. Bonnie is the queen of SCRAPPY QUILTS. She so inspired me that i re-organized my stash and have completed 3 quilt tops. I just finished hand quilting the first one and now on to the rest. Her philososphy and pattern ideas are awesome. Take a look at her blog at Quiltville. com. Honestly I am not a relative just a great fan of hers

Though I have bought lots of books over the years, I go back to a couple of goodies to get new inspiration time and time again.
Try "Calico and Beyond: The Use of Patterned Fabric in Quilts" by Roberta Horton . The focus is on using more challenging fabric types and colors. It really pushed me beyond straight traditional quilts (which I love and feel deeply connected to) without leaving traditional blocks behind. The book also introduces exercises for Asian and African-American style quilts. If I had to only keep a dozen books this would be in my top 3! |
I just bought Karla Alexanders' "Stack the Deck Revisted." I would like to do a crazy quilt and this book looks it will give me some good ideas.

Kim Diehl's latest book...I have every one of them...they are all full of great quilts...would love to make just about every one of them!

I just bought Skillbuilder Mastery and Skillbuilder Companion from <http://www.rgadesignquilts.com/store...d3b833153325be>
They might be skinny books but there's a ton of info and quilting design ideas. |

I have to add that my personal quilt library is getting as big as my fabric stash. =) Please tell me I'm not alone in that....

Crazy Curves continues by Elsa's Back Porch. Very inspiring to do something different.
