When we moved from a 3 bedroom home to a 2 bedroom apt., I had lots of quilt magazines in the milk crate cartons. I gave the majority of them to a friend, who would pull out the patterns she liked. My problem is that I get a mazaine, flag it with a pattern I would like to make and try to keep them organized. Periodically I go through them and purge again, however, several times I run across an older magazine with a quilt pattern I just have to make - what's old is new again. When my friend is done with them, she passes them on. I have also let several magazines go because of cost, but McCalls, Quiltmaker and Quick Quilts are my favorites. If I buy a new magazine I buy it only if there are at least 3 patterns I want to try, or some cute items I can make for gifts.
