This fabulous video tutorial includes many tips for beginners, such as pinning, pressing, trimming, consistency, and seam ripper tips.

There are tips to help you color code and trim the blocks so they will fit evenly into this fabulous quilt that is called the periwinkle plates quilt, which is a name that I love because it reminds me of the old days of Rock & Roll in the glorious time in America, where Kansas City was the hot spot for many entertainers.
