I do not subscribe to any magazines. I prefer to review each magazine prior to purchase. I frequently make items I have found in magazines.

Good question! I stopped getting hard copies of quilting magazines. Just more paper. I'm now streamlining my digital subscriptions. Letting some run out but am keeping McCall's Quilting and Quick Quilts. If I see a magazine in the store with a pattern or patterns I really like and will make, then I'll see if I can get that issue on line as a digital magazine. I really like having them as digital because it's easy to store and it gets rid of having to store magazines. When I want to make a specific quilt, I just print the pattern. I also get a lot of free patterns on the internet. We have so many resources available to us, other than hard copy magazines. I'm not saying that they don't serve a purpose. I know that are many who like receiving a mail order copy. My preference is digital. Well - that was long winded enough!!

I love the 100 blocks magazine that comes out once or twice a year. A wide variety of blocks only, but so much fun to look at

I still have a subscription to Primitive Quilts Magazine. I have yet to make one thing from the magazine. I don't plan to renew.

I get Quiltmaker and Quilters World. That's enough, because as you stated --there are so many of the patterns that are the same--just in different colors & slap on a different name for them.

I finally have stopped getting magazines because I prefer reading my vintage ones. Magazines are very expensive now and I would rather buy a book with the 40% off coupon at Joanns The coupon does not work with magazines. I do like Block though

I like Quilt World; I used to subscribe to several, but patterns were similar in many of them. Recently I had a limited subscription to American Patchwork and Quilting, but allowed it to lapse for the same reason many of you have listed...the many free patterns on the internet!

I get my patterns free online.

So far, my favorite is Love of Quilting by Fons & Porter. I always find at least one or two things I want to make in them.

I don't buy quilt magazines any more. I cannot afford to pay $8 for a magazine. It is ridiculous..
