I'm a fairly new quilter although I've been sewing for over 40 years. My Mother gave me about 50 quilt magazines and I've been tearing out the patterns I like. After going through about half of them, I'm noticing the patterns repeat; however, being somewhat challenged by coordinating fabrics, it does help to see the same design in different color combinations. But I know what you mean. Unique designs really do jump out because they're . . . well . . . unique from what magazines typically publish.
