My local quilt shop sells outdated magazines at half price, so check yours too. Sometimes used quilting books are less expensive than a new magazine, so check your local Goodwill or other thrift store. In most magazines there will be projects of different skill levels - I like Better Homes & Gardens the best, and there's a new magazine that I think is called Modern Quilter who's first issue is coming out in October. Modern quilts tend to have fewer pieces and I think the magazine may have good projects for a beginner. You will have so much fun!!

If you are not involved with a quilt guild yet, I urge you to look for one in your community. Many of them maintain a library or have magazine/book exchanges. There are quilters there who may be willing to lend you magazines or share their copies. The resources in a quilt guild are fantastic!

I did the thing with Quilt World where they send you a free issue and then you can decide to subscribe if you like it. I haven't gotten it yet. I love to read but haven't learned all the "quilting lingo" so they need to be good for rank beginners lol!
TIA!
