Re: What is your favorite quilting pattern book?
I like jelly roll quilt books because they usually have some very interesting uses for jelly rolls. I'm not much for 2" squares, and a certain hot place may need to freeze over before I attempt a postage stamp quilt. I'm making my peace with curves ( Drunkard's Path). I don't applique, if a book has a lot of that, I don't go for it. I like quilts that create a 3-D image by clever positioning of color gradients. Is there a book that has all of that in it? I don't know, I haven't found it yet. What about magazines? They are less expensive.
Right now I have 2 jelly roll Books, one called "Big Block Quilts" That uses 4 basic blocks to create all kinds of designs. "24 Hour Baby Quilts", that has a lot of great pattern ideas that don't have to be used just for babies or kids. I just like things that don't require three days of cutting, and weeks of sewing. I like to Git 'er done and move on to the next project. Borderline ADHD, I suppose!
