I'm FAR from being "good" at quilting, just learning things actually. I like 100 Quilt Blocks and McCall's Quick Quilts.
100 Quilt Blocks:
I love the variety of blocks and the diffrent tenchiques. I also like that they have the applique` and other "patterns" right in the magazine. What I "don't like" is they give you fabric measurments to make ONE block, so it takes some figuring to get the amount for a bed quilt size.
McCall's Quick Quilts:
I love that they give fabric measurments for a full quilt, not just a block. Also like the directions, easy to follow. I haven't gotten an issue yet that I haven't used at least one pattern from. Applique` patterns are in the magazine. Not sure of a downside yet.
