I buy used quilt magazines at quilt shows for 20¢-25¢ each. Then I go through them and cut out the patterns. I try to be fair about what I cut out. I ask myself, if I ever would really made the quilt before I cut them out. Sometimes, they are really beautiful, but I know that I'd never make it, I pass it up. Most of the ladies in my quilt group do the same and we pass them around when we're finished. I keep them in folders according to ones I want to make right now or soon and then in other folders according to the style and difficulty
