Easy Peasy 3 Yard Quilt Tutorial Using The Tic Tac Pattern - Panel Friendly

I know I am obsessed with these 3 yard quilt patterns. I had a request to do a tutorial on the Tic Tac 3 yard quilt design from Donna Robertson's Easy Peasy 3 Yard Quilt Book. At first I couldn't find it in a book, until I purchased it. LOL. Then I turned right to it. Regardless, I have made this quilt 3 times so far and I love it! I couldn't believe how quickly this quilt goes together. I made one in an evening. It is a great way to showcase fabric that has larger images and you can use directional fabric with minimal changes to the directions. Even better you can use fabric panels with pictures within the panel. I suggest you use any fabric panel pieces or directional fabrics as fabric 2 and I go over in the tutorial what you need to do. This tutorial goes over the cutting, sewing and arranging this cute 3 yard quilt.

As I've said, I made 3 of these. I only show 2 in the tutorial because I left one of them at the Sewing and Vacuum Authority while I was trying to find a border fabric. LOL. But don't worry - it is safe there. One of the quilts features using panel pieces and the other uses non directionally patterned fabric.

April, I love your videos - they are so calm and you'll never believe how reassuring I find them. Watching feels like I've been asked in to visit with you for a little while. I have Donna's books and need to get a kickstart to focus in these challenging times. Thank you for taking the time to do these tutorials, they're a blessing. Love when Oliver drops by to make sure everything's in order 🐈 Best wishes from Dublin, Ireland

Loved your presentation on Tic Tock Pattern from 3 Yard Fabric book EASY PEASY, but then again I love all your shows. You make me laugh and enjoy my attempts to get it right. Keep up the good work cause I need to keep trying. By the way you look like my daughter-in- law, DENICE STOVER, you could be twins. Thanks again for the good times. Jane Register

Thank you so much for explaining about the directional fabric! This is going to be my first quilt where I piece everything together and you've made this a lot easier for me :) I love your videos, you make everything so easy to follow
