Public Library quilt books. I can have as many as I want, take the best from each and return them without charge. They don't clutter or take up space I don't really have. If I find a really awesome pattern, I make a copy of the directions and put it in my 3-ring notebook for future projects.

I love making watercolor quilts so my two favorite books that I never put away are Watercolor Quilts by Pat Maixner Magaret and Donna Ingram Slusser and Watercolor Impressions : Quilts Inspired by the Bestseller Watercolor Quilts by Pat Maxiner Magaret and Donna Ingram Slusser

If you're curious about a book, check out Connecting Threads. If they carry it, they show pictures of some of the quilts inside. This is where I buy my books. The info is great and so are the prices.

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!
