What's best quilting magazine for me?
I'm being innundated with offers to subscribe to quilting magazines. Didn't know there were so many. What's a good magazine for an advanced beginner/low intermediate quilter? Don't want any applique or "artsy" quilts. I like to make throws out of precuts and scraps, but I want a little challenge and clear instructions on new techniques. Any suggestions?

I subscribe to a couple of quilt magazines. I really think what one would think best, another may not like. It is a good idea to look at the magazines at a store to decide which you like best. Also I read 2 different quilt magazines that I check out from the local library. There is also an online magazine that is free.

American Patchwork and Quilting may be right up your alley. I personally want a hint of a challenge, and your level of quilting indicates that you may like the same. Every year (6 issues) they do try to feature scrappy quilts several times.

Depending on where you live may be a factor. I live in Canada and we pay more for subscriptions. Even with the discount offers, I can buy them less expensive at my Walmart with their regular discount on magazines. This also allows me to flip through an issue before buying it. I don't buy a magazine now unless it has a least 1 thing I might like to try. I figure if I try 1 thing, then that is like purchasing a fairly reasonable pattern.

I let all of my subscriptions lapse because it was getting out of hand and there were too many duplicates. I do still pick up the occasional American Patchwork and Quilting magazine. It seems to have a broad range of topics and patterns.
