Quilt making is not what it was in the 80's and 90's there was so many quilt magazines and they were very interesting then not only patterns but interesting stories and articles. It was a real social thing then with a lot of exchanging and just having fun now it is all about money. I will not buy a book or pattern that requires a special ruler as it is good for only that quilt and so many magazines are spin offs as when I bought the book Square Dance it had direction for making our own pattern to get same book now called Twister sells for 3 times as much because you have to buy the template.Quilting is being priced out for the younger families but things are always changing
