I'd like to try my hand at making a quilt. I am a complete beginner so can you suggest a book to help?

Having been inspired by the Victoria & Albert museum's quilt exhibition I'd like to try my hand at making one of my own. I am a complete beginner so can you suggest a book to help?

Katharine Clemow replies: Simple Shapes Spectacular Quilts: 23 Original Designs by Kaffe Fassett with Liza Prior Lucy (Stewart, Tabori & Chang) is a visual feast combining beautiful images of a huge variety of quilts in different styles, and clear instructions that are suitable for those new to quilt making. He shows how basic geometric forms - squares, rectangles, triangles, diamonds, circles and quarter circles - can be transformed into appealing patterns.
