I don't subscribe to many since some of the magazines have a block but you have to buy the pattern anyway. I have enough paper and other magazines. I have recently gone on the internet and canceled the paper magazines but subscribe to online magazines. I hate paying the price of magazines when internet is much cheaper and as some call it saving a tree. I checkout the library and thrift stores and estate sales. I got a couple quilt books and I have probably 20 books and magazines and paid no more than a dollar for each.
