Although I agree that this board is wonderful and I have learned a lot and I wouldn't be without it, I still like the quilt magazines I subscribe to. They do feature the newer fabrics and do have some interesting patterns. I picked up two great magazines at the bookstore - one from the UK and one from France which had some marvelous quitsl in them - something that I would have to stumble upon online! Besides, I do like to sit on the couch and thumb through magazines once in a while. Sort of why I like books instead of ereaders.
