I was hesitant to make my first ... I just could not "get" the sewing the strips in a tube ... and then "un-sewing" . BUT once I tried it I LOVED it ... its really not hard and can go pretty quickly. There are some complicated bargello patterns . Do a easy one first to get the method and confidence ... but you will be hooked, And come up with your own patterns in no time.
I hung a dowel for my first to help keep me organized . It is a bit of a different method so just take it step by step. I have made about 8 quilts and many many jackets using the method.
Once you get going look up a pattern called Twisted Bargello by Chris Timmins, its been out for several years and every one I have seen made in no matter what colors is beautiful.
