Several women where my DD works are quilters. One of them periodically clears out her stash of magazines & gives them to one of the quilters. She tears out any patterns she'd like to keep and then passes them down the line. I'm the end of the line. The last time, I got 2 shopping bags of magazines. There were very few incidences where a pattern I wanted did not have all the pages left. Of course if you all have similiar tastes in quilts, this idea may not work for you.
