It goes from fabric selection, to cutting, to assembly and layout. Fabulous tutorial.
I also used the One Block Wonder books by Maxine Rosenthal, but if you follow the tutorial here, you don't necessarily need it.
I liked having both sets of instructions handy, the book and the tute here.

I can't say no to that face!
So, now I know who the quilt is going to! LOL. She brought it up again this morning when she saw it on the design wall. She says, "so pretty, for me!" Now I just need to add borders and the top will be done. Hopefully I can get it all done before Monday. Monday I am going long-arming!
