if you have been sewing for a long time and used to curved piecing jump in and give it a try, if you are new-new, pick a couple projects that are 'beginner-friendly' and get some practice and try some practice blocks using curved piecing before you invest lots and jump into this project. if you try to start with something that advanced with out some technique practice first chances are you will become frustrated and never finish the quilt you really want to make. Unless you have a quilt shop close that offers classes and you can sign up for a class that teaches curved piecing, then go ahead and start with it.
so many people try to get ahead of themselves and start projects that are way ahead of their abilities then become discouraged and never finish them, or give up completely. as with anything we learn to do we really have to start at the beginning and expand our abilities with practice, and trying new things. if you can find a teacher it helps, if you are trying to learn on your own, start with some easier projects first to avoid disappointment.
