I am one also that doesn't bother with magazine subscriptions anymore ... I use to try and subscribe to whatever I could as I love to look through them but 98% of the time I would either find one or none that I wanted to do in each issue. Unless it is a Christmas edition. I find just surfing the net I can find more that I like or just by looking at a pattern I can try and design my own that way.
I have great success going into my local quilt shop and looking at the patterns in there and buying them with my fabric choices.
However, to each their own ... some people like things that others dont.
