Welcome to quilting, Betsy! I love your pattern. I believe this is also called "Hanky Panky" in another pattern, isn't it? We actually worked on this one today in my quilt guild.
One of the best websites I use for help is

I find Janet Wickell's instructions to be simple and easy to understand. Plus, she's great about answering you if you email her with questions. She's also on Facebook!
