Jack Frost 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:
We are making our Quarter Square Triangles with triangles instead of starting with half square triangles because of fabric placement. Starch and press your fabric before you cut and pin the units before you sew. Don't tug or stretch the block as it goes under your needle.
