I have been reading through the posts and it seems we are all pretty much of the same opinion. I too have stopped my subscriptions to the magazines here in the UK. They have become very expensive despite the extensive ads throughout as well as quilt galleries and exhibitions It would be worth it if one or two quilts were featured in close up with more information on the techniques and constructions. I prefer to design my own quilts and gain inspiration from looking at other quilts, but they cannot be appreciated as thumbnail size photos. I still browse through my old mags and they are much more interesting. I agree there are too many bags and another thing I detest is quilted clothing.
