When I go through my old quilting magazines, I pass them on to my girlfriend, who then tears out the projects she wants or cuts out parts of the magazine that she can use for her Kindergarten class. If she doesn't find a project, then she passes the magazine on to another quilter. I've purged quite a few magazines, but still have others to look through again, as sometimes I will find something I overlooked or my tastes have changed and I find the perfect project.
