Here is another quick and easy quilt tutorial using pattern Easy Street from the Donna Robertson book Easy Peasy 3 Yard Quilts. I struggled with the pattern because I used a directional fabric and explain how you need to handle that if you use this pattern along with a directional fabric. Check out my video for some suggestions on how to make your 3 yard quick and easy quilt a little easier. Since Valentine's Day is coming soon, I chose some cute Valentine fabric, but one of them was a directional pattern. A directional pattern will only look right side up if you hold your fabric a certain way. The pattern in the Easy Peasy 3 Yard Quilt book didn't take that into account (that I saw). I figured out the best way to handle that. So watch my video for some helpful hints on how you can easily make this quilt.
