What really annoys me is when I find the EXACT same quilt (fabric, designer, etc.) in more than one magazine!
The only reason I buy them is because my boss' daughter sells subscriptions for Girl Scouts but I didn't buy one this year.
I figure if I find one quilt I like in a magazine when JoAnns has 10% off, then it's no more expensive than if I bought a single quilt patter in the LQS. So I think I'll start browsing again and only buy one if I REALLY want something in it.
