My daughter is just starting into quilting and is overwhelmed at the possibilities, but also realizes she "has to start somewhere". She is intrigued with jelly rolls and likes the fact that they are already color coordinated . . . SO . . . for her birthday I got her two jelly rolls and ordered a book, "Layer Cake, Jelly Roll and Charm Quilts" . . . in looking at it I think it will have a range of skill levels. Hope to narrow things down for her abit. Carol

Find out what feet come with her sewing machine. Some do not come with a walking foot or a 1/4 inch foot.
A mat that turns is a must for a beginner.
A years subscription to QNNTV to learn all the different ways the experts cut and sew. Thats how I learned to quilt.
A selection of fat quarters would be nice.
Quilt in a Day flying geese ruler and the triangle square up ruler are my mainstays.

A "lazy-susan" style 12" cutting board. Olfa makes the one I have. For cutting squares and smaller pieces. I'd hate to be without it. Also I use my pinking shears for cutting the edges of ravelly fabric before washing it. Works like a charm. Otherwise I always love to get and give fat quarters as gifts. A very good fat quarter book is nice to have. I believe M'liss Rae Hawley has one out in the shops, can't recall the title. And for paper piecing, Carol Doak's "Show Me How To Paper Piece", it's excellent. 8)
