Glad you are with us. Not an answer to your particular question but having been there many years ago I would like to say that if you get frustrated you can buy something precut so as to concentrate on your sewing rather than trying to make your first pieces fit together easily, or you might find someone with an accuquilt cutter to cut you some pieces. There are so many ways to do things and as you learn you will see them all. Enjoy yourself and don't hesitate to ask. These fine people here will share what they know with you willingly. They're great. Enjoy!
