My 15 Quilt Books EVERY Quilter Needs !

I LOVE books and there is nothing better to me than a quilt book ! ! So, here is MY opinion of the 15 MUST HAVE Quilt books for ALL Quilter's

I've added a link for each book, MOST may be purchased  new or used and I've seen a few at our local Goodwill book store, so shop around. Don't forget the library too !

I own all the books pictured here, pictures were taken on my sewing room floor. 

I know the books I'm sharing !
