    I bought these in the last few months:

    1. 5500 Quilt Block Designs by Maggie Malone
    2. 365 Foundation Quilt Block by Linda Causee
    3. Stellar Quilts by Judy Martin
    4. Scraps by Judy Martin

    I will buy Bonnie Hunter's books this month but they will be for a gift. I buy her books as soon as they are available!

    eightylady, for charms and/or jelly rolls, take a look at:

    Jelly Roll Quilts
    Layer Cake, Jelly Roll, and Charm Quilts

    both by the Lintott women. I love both books.

    I went back to the garage sale and to another one. Today I got;
    A Quilter's Christmas, by Marti Mitchell
    Two Color Quilts, Better Homes and Garden
    The Practical Encyclopedia of Quilting & Quilt Design, by Isabel Stanley and Jenny Watson
    Acorn Hollow, by Nancy Halversen
    Collections One, by G. Kimmel, L. Brannock, J. Patek
    Patchwork and Quilting, Applique, and Rug Making all Better Homes and Gardens books
    And lastly, The Quilted Garden by Jane A. Sassaman
    All for only $10.50

    And I forgot that while at the Carol Doak workshop I bought her 40 Bright & Bold Paper-Pieced Blocks for $5 from the lady right next to me. I guess she wasn't enjoying paper-piecing as much as I was. LOL

    Oh, how I would love to find some Judy Martin books. So far my garage sales, Goodwill, estate sales, etc haven't had any.

    More importantly, I just got them all into my database, so I can tell what I have. I can find them by author, category, title and even value. woohoo!

    How do you do this? What type of program are you using? Is it a spreadsheet or something else? It soulds like something I would like to do but maybe a winter project.

    I used a simple works spreadsheet. It took me an afternoon to get them all logged and valued.

    Thanks, I might do that some day but it would take me WEEKS. I've got hundreds of mags and books.
