I have gotten American Patchwork and Quilting for probably 6 yrs. and always found something I really liked in every one, but the last year, there didn't seem to be anything much that appealed to me, so I have let that subscription go. I also had one fo McCalls Quilting and really like some of their patterns. Let that one go too, but will pick up at the store if I see something I like. Got sick and tired of F&P and did not renew that one. I pick up Easy quilts and McCalls Quick quilts at the store if there is anything I can't live without. Hmmmm, looks like I am down to 0 subscriptions. I still love Quilting Arts and subscribed to it for about 6 yrs. It got so pricy that I let that go too but pick one up once in a while at the store if I can get it at JoAnnes with a coupon, but haven't been to JoAnnes in months.

If I had to choose one it would be American Patchwork and Quilting.

I do like Quiltmaker and QuickQuilts and I also get McCall's and Quilters' World.......but I have decided that I will not renew all of them.
I like PPing and there are not many patterns for the paper piecing in many of the magazines.
I would be happy if they would put a magazine out dedicated just so PPing..

I read American Patchwork & Quilting, Quilter's World, McCall's and Fons and Porter. I have decided not to renew Fons and Porter due to the CD episode and clothing ads in the middle of the magazine. If they have to start selling clothes to afford making the magazine, I'm not interested.
