Jesso4, I see you've gotten some great advice here. I would like to recommend a good book that we used in my beginners quilting class and we truly were beginners! We made a sampler quilt using M'Liss Rae Hawley's book "Make Your First Quilt". She covers the basics from choosing fabric to cutting to block construction. I still use it as a reference after nine years. I'm sure you can get it on Amazon for a reasonable price. There are so many little steps that are generally not given in a pattern. They usually assume that everyone knows what they mean and for me, anyway, that can be a problem. I, too, really like your fabric, so cute. Don't get discouraged!
