Google: Quilting Magazines, and you'll really find a treasure. I still watch everywhere I go for magazines, so many out there. I subscribed for 2 yrs to a dozen mags, and I tear the patterns I love out (and quilt tip pages), and put in a vinyl sleeve in 3-ring binders, now I have 14 binders full. Stopped the mags for now, I just watch when I see in a store and pick up something that catches my eye.
I have so many patterns now, I'd never get half of them made, but they are fun to look at. Doing the binder thing also works for free online quilt patterns, again, just google free quilt patterns, or any specific pattern block and you'll get another treasure. I also put my binders now in catagories, Christmas, Wall, Baby, Table runners, etc.

I got a subscription to it but am not going to renew it... I have gotten 4 or 5 issues of it and it seems that there are more *off* magazines than good ones :(
I think I've got such a huge backlog at this point that it would pain me to find something else to add to the list lol.

I have recently started reading the blogs and have learned so much. Thanks all. I am a very new quilter although I am not new. Getting a late start in life with the quilting, but have thoroughly enjoyed reading your comments and my local quilt guild.

I have a bunch of old ones from the 80's and early 90's. I've taken quite a few ideas from them, especially for blocks. There are the templates, etc. all labeled as A,B or C. but then in the instructions it describes how to prepare the fabric and then just says "Assemble the block"! Hmmm, I want to know how! Tell me to sew A to B and if it needs a partial seam. You get the idea. But looking through all these old maga that seems to be the way they all are. So fun to read!
