Hello to all you lovely peeps. I am aiming to buy a book of quilting blocks, and would prefer something with a lot of the traditional patterns. Upon perusal I find that there are literally hundreds of options. I wondered if anyone could recommend a book they have enjoyed and use for referencing patterns and block sizing.
Thank you xx
If you see me with a seam ripper, now is not a good time

I have the Jinny Beyer Quilter's Album of Patchwork patterns - it cost about £25, not cheap but lots of traditional stuff.
It maybe out of print at the moment but you may be able to get a used copy somewhere.

I have and would recommend 'Quiltmakers' 1000 blocks' by Fons & Porter.
