I also like 'The Border Workbook' by Janet Kime. Lots of borders and how to size them to your quilt.

I just wondered, what do you think some of the best quilting books are? What are your personal favorites and if you have time, why do you like them?
Thanks!

It has everything you need! It is a large binder book with individual chapters. From measuring fabric to all the "how to's" you'll ever need. Well worth the price!!!

My favorite is Quick Quilts From Your Scrap Bag by Leisure Arts. I have made several quilts from there and it is a great book to help rein in your scraps and use them. I love the Judy Martin books and then there is a Quilting 101 that is a great book for beginners, comes in handy for me even though I am an intermediate quilter.
