I went through all my quilt mags this Spring, had some from 1976. There are a few oldy and goody ones that I kept intact, but I pretty much did what you did. I decided to keep one year back and the current year. At year end I'll go through them again and take out patterns that catch my eye. I have two 4" binders now with my favorites (even sorted those somewhat)!
It seems that the patterns are becoming very repititious, just use a current set of designer fabrics to catch your eye. Certain mags are simply marketing products so they will not be renewed. Quilting isn't cheap and isn't going to get any cheaper. Guess we have to cut corners where we can even if we love the eye candy.
