Happy Fall, quilters! If you like seasonal quilt projects, get ready for the McCall’s Quilting Fall 2024 issue and our autumn theme—A Cut Above. We’re showcasing quilts and projects that have a little more to the construction than just cut and sew—think cut, sew, cut some more, then sew some more! You can look forward to impressive, complex-looking quilt projects that use additional cutting and trimming as part of the construction process: techniques like disappearing blocks, strip piecing, Delectable Mountains, wonky blocks, crumb piecing, and brand-new techniques from our clever and creative contributors. Using fall colors or print collections puts a lovely seasonal spin on these exciting, fun-to-make projects in a range of sizes and difficulty levels. And speaking of fun, we’re also celebrating and commemorating Halloween, the quintessential autumn holiday! Our secondary, supporting theme is Trick or Treat Yourself—projects that are just such a treat to make and use! McCall’s Quilting is all about customizing your quilts to your lifestyle, and then actually using them. With timely seasonal inspiration and alternate pattern layouts, McCall’s makes it easy for quilters to enhance their lives with quilts.
