I used to subscribe to AQS. It's a really nice magazine. However, most of their quilts and techniques are way beyond my skill level and I'm just not interested in going there in my own life. If you are really interested in art quilts and advanced techniques, AQS might be worthwhile. I used to buy books through my AQS membership but, now that I have a huge library of books and Amazon at my disposal, I don't do that anymore either.
