I have made 3-4 quilts from magazine patterns. After looking through a magazine, I mark any that I think I seroiusly want to make and keep that magazine. If there is nothing in it that appeals to me (which is often the case) I get rid of the magazine! Periodically I flip through the kept magazines to remind me of what's there, and sometimes the pattern I originally marked no longer appeals to me so I get rid of that one too! This way I don't have piles of magazines sitting around.
