I agree with TheMerkleFamily. I have a subscription to Quiltfolk and I love reading all the stories... I think you have to really be interested in the history of quilting in various places in order to enjoy the magazine (which is really more like a series of books, in my opinion, each one focusing on a specific place).
I also subscribe to Block but there is just no comparison between the two publications. Block is for quick and easy projects and quilts with precuts. Although the recent price increase for Block may cause me to re-evaluate that one. I could see the value in $5.99, but not so sure about $7.99.
And by the way, Quiltfolk confirmed on their Facebook page that Barnes & Noble will no longer be carrying the magazine. They said "selected" Jo-Ann Fabrics stores will have it. You can also buy single issues at their website without having to subscribe.
