A friend recommended A Quilter's Catalog to me. It's an odd name, as it makes me think of catalog as in magazine to circle things I want. It's really more like catalog of information... http://www.amazon.com/The-Quilters-C...ter%27s+catalg

[h=1]The Quilters Ultimate Visual Guide: From A to Z - Hundreds of Tips and Techniques for Successful Quiltmaking edited by Ellen Phal. I can't tell you how often I refer to this book. The pictures really explain things well. It's just a gem.[/h]

I'd recommend the Art of Machine Piecing, by Sally Collins. She teaches how to piece precisely. I've only adopted a couple of her techniques, and my piecing life runs so much smoother! Pieces fit together easily, with less ripping and re-doing. I recommend this book and buy it for friends all the time. I took an all day workshop with her, on precision piecing, and it is hands-down the best class I ever took.

Everyone's suggestions are great. Might I add Eleanor Burns is known for her quick techniques. Super simple instructions. I just added to my collection "both book and DVD" Sally Collins Mastering Precision Piecing.

Billie Lauder has great speed piecing books with tips and tricks. Not many new quilters know about her.
