Building a wonderful and exciting quilting book library can be lots of fun. There are so many beautifully illustrated books out there with fantastic ideas and tips. Many quilters build their library slowly and over time giving them a chance to have a good read and look at each book.

Quilting books are also fantastic for the coffee table as your whole family can enjoy them and perhaps show pictures of what they would love for you to make next.

Have a look at the following quilting books. If you have a favourite quilting book that you use as a reference or even just a beautiful quilting book that you would like to recommend to other quilters, please email the details and we will try to include it on the website!
