I did this too, the biggest advantage is that you can go back through two years of archives. Due to puter problems, I eventually went through and printed out all the ones that interest me. Have had issues with my download files disappearing when my hard drive went bad. I like this mag because they have quite a few for beginners. While I like to think myself an experienced quilter, I'm impatient and I want to get the current project done before I start another, so I want them to go quickly.

I'm bored with them, too. Sometimes I'll find quilts or blocks I've seen before with a different name. Like the one I just got had one where it was just made up Ohio Stars and Square in a Square. I swear I've seen something like it somewhere before. But they gave it a fancy name: "Stars of Josie". It got its name from the fabric collection used in the quilt, the Josephine collection by Skipping Stones Studio. I've noticed a lot of "quilt designs" featured in magazines or patterns are old designs with new fabric lines. Boring!

I agree - I'm not renewing my subscriptions again. Seems like they isn't any thing different.
