Walk in the Woods is one of the block options in the 2020 Countdown to Christmas - Winter Frost. For more info about this quilt-along, check out the Frequently Asked Questions and join our Moda Bake Shop Bakers group. Find all the blocks {here}.

Chef's Notes:

For the version with the optional star blocks, please refer to the PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION. The pieces are small so take your time. I recommend marking the piece size or letter on the back for reference. It is also helpful to cut out and make one star at a time.

YIELD
