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. As in all BLOCK issues, you'll get instructions for 10 projects, from small, quick makes to full-size quilts. With all these cooler-weather projects, Volume 12, Issue 4 of BLOCK is one you'll "fall" for!
