As summer comes to a close, quilters itch to stitch fall projects! Volume 12, Issue 4 of BLOCK Magazine is packed with projects for Halloween! Make an orange peel pumpkin, a witch's hat pillow, a wizard pincushion, and a three-piece wall hanging, door hanger and table runner set of appliquéd potions and bottles. Misty shares some Doan family Halloween traditions, too!
Ward off the autumn chill in the air with a quilted vest! You'll find instructions for creating the Flipside Vest by Teresa Coates. Looking ahead to Christmas, make a festive Fancy Fans Table Topper by artist and designer Mary Engelbreit.

Have you ever felt confused about that middle part of your quilt sandwich? We'll help solve the mysteries of batting so you can choose the best type for your quilt! Check out the results of our Quilters' Test Lab to know how the fiber content of batting will affect your finished project.
Continuing our "What If" series, we change up the North Star quilt block to explore how color emphasis, contrast, and repetition can draw the eye in new directions.
