I love the quilting magazines! My favorites are McCall's Quilting and the BH&G American Patchwork. I love thumbing thru them, getting inspiration from the quilts. I think they are a great value. Let's say you pay $24 for a year, 6 magazines, that's $4 ea, and in each magazine you get 15? patterns. Most single patterns that you buy are about $8 each.
