I usually have 4 subscriptions going each year. The only quilting magazine I get continuously every year is the American Quilter because that is part of the subscription to American Quilting Society.
I keep a list of the quilt magazines out there... so I can cycle through the list. I always have 2 or 3 rotating subscriptions a year... staggered by season, so that when one sub runs out, I subscribe to a different magazine. That way I never get bored.
My newest quilt mag is The Quilt Life...(my first subscription to this one). I should receive my first issue sometime this month.

On rainy days, I go to Barnes&Noble, get a cup of coffee and look through all of the quilt magazines. If I get a subscription again it will be American Patchwork and Quilting.
I usually buy one magazine during these rainy day trips.

My favorite is Australian patchwork and quilting. Too expensive to get here. The postage is a killer. It is cheaper to get it sent thru Canada but still a lot. One of the LQS has it for less than I can subscribe to it. I can flip thru it and decide if I want to buy it.

I subscribe to Quilter's World, Fons & Porter Love of Quilting, and American Patchwork and Quilting. I would definitely not subscribe to any either. There's just too many free patterns and tutorials online. I was really upset when Fons & Porter came with clothing sales in the middle of it, but my last one did not have it. Perhaps enough people voiced their dislike at this.

I actually enjoy ALL my magazines and continually thumb thru them (even the oldest ones) for inspiration and when I find a new fabric I have to have-to find a suitable pattern for it. If you are a beginner quilter, I think Quiltmaker and Quick Quilts would be a good start-pleanty of beginner-friendly patterns and tuts.

I look at them in the supermarkets and bookstores. If I find that I like to buy one pretty consistently then I subscribe. Right now it is American Patchwork and Quilting, McCall's Quilting and Fons and Porter's Love of Quilting.
