I like the idea of some sort of magazine swap-good idea! Should be easy enough for quilting groups or guilds, say once every 4 or 5 months or so, but hard for someone like me who doesn't know of any near me. If anyone is interested in the San Diego area, I think I would be willing to part with several years of Quilters Newsletter, and Quick Quilts, and maybe Quilts with Style (great for foundations piecers). I cannot bring myself to cut up any, and still periodically pull old copies of other mags down and find a pattern I want to make. In any case, most mags have great articles/tutorials, quilt motifs, applique templates, etc. which, as a self-taught quilter, still refer back to.
