I took that class at my lqs earlier in 2011. There was alot of information to make the fabric pieces line up, and special rulers. I would say to make a sample block first, to see if you like the process. I would have to be on tranquilizers to do an entire quilt. One day maybe, I will try again. but it is labor intensive for me. I have the templates and the book, and the batik in sea green, turquoise, white and yellow all ready, about 50% cut out too. I don't think this is a ufo, only got one block done in class. (dyslexia makes storm at sea tough for me.)
