I like American Patchwork and Quilting or McCalls quilting, they seem to have more quilts that appeal to me in them.. I would go to a bookstore that has a big variety of magazines and look them over, see what has your style of quilting in it, and subscribe to that one

buy a few at the news stand and see which you like. Some of the magazines lean toward art quilts, They are beautiful but not my style.

I recieve 3. I am a scrap and taditional quilter.

McCalls-just because I can find at least one or more projects that appeal to me.
American Patchwork and Quilting- This is probably my favorite.
Quiltmaker- Because of Bonnie Hunters article feature each month.

If you have a library handy go there and look at the magazines they have on hand. They will have several issues of each magazine and will help you decide.

I personally LOVE Australian Patchwork and Quilting. They many scrap quilts which I love, a lot of applique, fusible or needle turned, and just really unusual quilt patterns. The magazines are expensive $10.00 per issue but I think they are well worth it!

Thats great advise and thats exactly what I did. I have to say McCalls is my favorite-very easy to read and like someone else said i can usually find a couple patterns that are realistic for me to save on my want to do list.

McCalls and Quiltmaker are my favorites. I have found lots of patterns in both that I have made or on my list to make.
