I like the The Better Homes and Gardening magazine also. Plus it has a great site called allpeoplequilt.com They have a lot of free patterns. I made a quilt from one of their magazine and a year later they posted the same pattern online for free.
We also have a Goodwill close by that has a really nice book store. I have found some quilting books there for just a couple of dollars each. Unfortunately used books and magazines are hard to find but it's always fun to hunt for them.
