My granddaughter chose this quilt pattern for me to make, and being a novice quilter, I was very anxious about the difficulty of it. But... to my surprise, it has been a very easy process. The cutting and assembly instructions are excellent. This is not true of all patterns unfortunately, so it was like a breath of fresh air. I would recommend this pattern to new and seasoned quilters. It was a little pricey but worth every penny!
