Excellent beginner quilting book

This book was recommended to me by an experienced quilter. It has several different quilt blocks and techniques. I especially liked the yardage charts.

Eh, not quite. Instructions looked good and so did most patterns, but didn't have basic quilting patterns such as the 4 patch or 9 patch. Went straight into some difficult looking patterns. Also, some of the pictures don't clearly explain color/pattern choices and why pink on pink is bad.
