The It's Okay If You Sit On My Quilt Book
Mary Ellen Hopkins
Beginner & FundamentalsOriginally self-published in 1982, Hopkins's irreverent, plain-talking approach to breaking quilts down into simple, buildable units has kept this one in print and in demand for over four decades, even as the original edition went out of print and got reissued. It's a working quilter's cult favorite rather than a media-anointed classic, recommended forum-to-forum rather than roundup-to-roundup. Good for a beginner who wants a blunt, funny teaching voice instead of a polished one.
