As I am new to quilting(and sewing actually), my husband's aunt, who is a quilter, mailed me three magazines: The Quiltmaker, Quilter's World, and McCall's Quick Quilts. All of them had beautiful projects that ranged from beginner to experienced. HOwever, my favorite is the Quiltmaker, it was easy to follow for someone like me with not much quilting vocab. and very little if any expereince, I am actually working on stuff from that edition. Second will have to be Quilter's world and third Quick Quilts.
Again, I am not judging the quilts themselves, just the instruction and the easiest to follow for me.
