I've been quilting for four years so I consider myself a confident beginner. I was thinking the other day that I need a push to get out of my rut of D9P quilts. They are so easy but not a challenge. The Block magazine has challenging quilts that would be appropriate for your level I think. I'm guessing we're similar. I think there is a mixture of traditional and modern in the book. I just looked on the website. They have tutorials on youtube, which they state on the web site, that they took tutorials and made them into a magazine with the patterns. Maybe look on the web site and look through the tutorials. I like the magazine. It's not full of all these ads. Magazines that have more ads than articles make me crazy.
