I've been subscribing Fons snd Porter, McCall's, American Patchwork and Quilting and Quilter Newsletter. But plan on cutting back to American Patchwork and Quilters Newsletter. It seems like the each month of the magazine have the same quilt just a different border or color. I do think if your learning Fon and Porter's magazine is good. I've also have been picking up Quilt Mania its published in France at the quilt shops I love the pictures and they have been having some pattern in them for quilts that i've looked at at quilt stores that would covered the cost of the magazine.
