When I found this awesome summer squares quilt video tutorial by The Missouri Star Quilt Company, YouTube. This fabulous video includes many tips for beginners, such as pinning, pressing, trimming, consistency, and seam ripper tips. The instructions Jenny gives in her video will guide you step by step through measuring your fabric squares and cutting them precisely to make sewing and assembly as easy as possible. There are tips to help you color code and trim the blocks so they will fit evenly into this fabulous quilt block pillow that is called the summer squares 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. However, you slice it this summer squares quilt pattern is pure Americana, just like Jenny Doan herself, what an American sweetheart!
