Wow! I didn't realize how many quality tutorial sites are available. Thanks for your suggestions. Occasionally I drop in on blogs from across the world for a broader range of inspiration.
I'm an inter-active learner. I've always had issues with pictorial directions. It has something to do with my visual perspective. I remember my first on-point applique quilt. I couldn't place the blocks correctly. I just couldn't see the pattern for the block placement. I had to ask my sister-in-law for help. I have since resolved that issue, but it was a stumper at the time.
