Leslie from the Seasoned Homemaker offers a tutorial for the Direction block designed by Lauren Forshey of Groundworks Quilt Studio that uses the basic pieced blocks any beginner should learn and combines them into an attractive little quilt that looks much more advanced than it is. The Directions block can be be used on its own as a mini-quilt or made in multiples to create a bed quilt of any size.

On Leslie’s website, Lauren provides a clear, well written tutorial that gives step-by-step instructions on creating her design including fabric and tool requirements, cutting directions, block making and assembly.

Here’s her mockup of a quilt made of Directions blocks.
