The Giving Quilt: Fast Quilts for Comfort and Healing - which I got on sale at Joann's and love it! I've made two and my new-to-sewing niece has made her first quilt from here for an English class project that her English Teacher has fallen in love with.

Fast and Fun Machine Quilting - Rodale's Successful Quilting Library - got this one at our quilt guild silent auction for $1!!! Really like the tips on how to machine quilt and how to fix problems in your machine quilting.

Rotary Cutting Revolution and I have about worn it out using all the patterns in the book several times.

I just got "Bargello Quilts" by Marge Edie

I just got "300 Paper-Pieced Quilt Blocks" by Carol Doak and "365 Foundation Quilt Blocks" by Linda Causee. Paper-Pieced books I can never pass up.

Circle of Nine's - Great quilts, and a real fun way to make a quick quilt. Just nine blocks, then connecting sections

I just picked up "Quick Colorful Quilts" and "Patchwork Quilts Made Easy" by Jean Wells at a yard sale for $1.00 each.

I LOVE this book!

I just bought a new one by Pam and Nicky Lintott called Jelly Roll Sampler Quilts. It has more than 50 different blocks, all adapted for 2.5" strips. You can make one of the quilts in the book or combine any of the blocks for your own design. I like that...lots of blocks to try out. And I have lots of scraps cut into 2.5" strips.
