Excellent foundation book for your library

Two-Color Quilts is full of gorgeous, adaptable designs in simple-to-interpret two-color designs that leave your imagination free to invent. Each design is accompanied by fully explained, step-by-step instructions and full-size patterns. The photos of the quilts are clear, beautifully lit, and large enough to see the details. Each design also has a smaller photo of a sample worked up in full color as an inspirational jumping-off point. While the instructions are complete, this isn't a beginner's hand-holding kind of book. It helps if you're experienced in quilting, but if you have an experienced quilter you can ask questions of, then even a beginner with only a modicum of experience will have fun working on these designs. I am in the latter category, and I've managed to make some of the most complex designs in this book with a bit of trouble-shooting from my more experienced mother-in-law. This is the kind of book that makes you want to learn to quilt, and the designs have been so well-selected, that you could spend the rest of your days quilting from this book alone and never run out of inspiration.

If you like red & white or blue & white

Beautiful book, great two color quilts, but can easily be adapted to lots of color, Better Homes & Garden always has great books, I've never been disappointed with any of their quilting or decorating books.
