I have taken it for years now (about 10) and I buy it because it's almost the only USA mag available easily here. I still like it for the USA news in the quilt world, pics of the big shows, I also like the articles that I can sit and read during a tea break - it makes a change from JUST having quilt designs. I tend to agree with Patrice a little though, the quilts to make that are featured would never look the same if you couldn't get the same fabrics, but I suppose you have to work around that.
I stopped taking a UK mag because it began featuring one, if not two bags every issue, then finally announced that the following issue was going to be devoted to ALL bags. I have enough savvy to make my own if I want, so it stopped interesting me. One tote is very like another, after all.
