Customer Rating:      Summary: American Patchwork and Quilting Comment: I have found American Patchwork and Quilting to be among the best in quilting magazines. I love every issue. The articles are informative and the patterns are simply wonderful. Not every issue will please every reader, but this one comes close.
Customer Rating:      Summary: The Editor needs more experience Comment: From what i have found .. the editor needs more experience.
Having one's grandmother quilt does not make one an expert quilter
Customer Rating:      Summary: one of my favorites Comment: This is one of my favorite quilting magazines, especially (but not only) for beginners. There is almost always something that I want to make in each issue, which isn't the case with most of the quilting magazines I pick up. I love the alternate design/color schemes for each project. Fons & Porter's is another good choice.
Customer Rating:      Summary: So-So Comment: I subscribed to American Patchwork Quilting magazine for over a year, and to be honest I found it mediocre. The projects seem to be designed for people with 'high end' sewing machines and there are way too much appliqué projects, advertisements, and modern-looking quilting projects.
I'm an intermediate quilter, and the majority of the quilts featured are A: too easy B: seriously complex or C: way too contemporary. There seems to be no middle ground and few projects for those who like to make quilts that are more traditional looking. In fact this issue (October), features a huge article for some textile designer which isn't even about quilting or piecing. Bleh.
For this price I'd expect less adverts, more blocks, and more projects a traditional piecer might enjoy. 2 stars.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Excellent magazine Comment: This is probably one of the best quilting magazines you can buy! I look forward to receiving this magazine in the mail every issue! It is loaded with great articles and tons of designs--all with a great variety. This magazine has patterns for all levels and all types of quilters (appliquers, hand piecers, machines quilters...etc.).
