    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!

    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..
