I am a fairly new quilter and I buy vintage quilts, quilt tops and magazines. I think one of the things I noticed, other than the rotary cutters and mats, are what KwiltyKahy said about the magazines. Everything in them is about the fabric lines. In the old magazines, which I adore, they give you directions about making more blocks and quilts than what you see today. When I started quilting, I heard much about a quilt isn't a quilt unless it's hand made. Such rubbish !!! I look at the long arm quilting on some quilts and they are absolutely unbelievable. No hand quilting can ever accomplish what some of the long arm quilters can do. My opinion exactly.
