Yep I feel the same way. I first started getting them about 2 years ago because I was just getting started in making quilts. Thought it would help if I could see through other peoples eyes and their ideas. Well, it's been interesting but for the most part, what I see in these magazines are not something I would want to do. On an occasion, I will see something that draws me in but for the most part, nope I find better stuff going shopping that will strike an interesting design or layout that I can draw up myself.
