[wc_tabgroup layout="box"] [wc_tab title="This Week's Clue"] Week 5 - Stitch + Flip Welcome back to our Moonlit Paths Mystery QAL! This week we're making some easy-peasy stitch and flip blocks.

[wc_tabgroup layout="box"] [wc_tab title="This Week's Clue"] Week 2 - 4-Patch Welcome back to our Moonlit Paths Mystery QAL! We're ready to start putting together some four-patch units - the first of our building blocks.
