I have several of his patterns and have made a few . One I did I see listed on another site as a "fast and Easy" .... it was NOT fast. it took more than 300 hours to complete...( not including quilting) And I am an experienced quilter. Had I not spent all the money on the material and had 60 hours into it I would not have done it. The pattern was pretty but for the hours I would have done something different. See photo. It is one inch strips finished to 1/2 inch squares. yes there are strips but each row is different .. lots and lots and lots of unsewing and re-sewing strip sets. It is about 68 inches by 68 inches.
Love his work but this one.... was more work than I had expected. Did I mention I ordered the pattern in the beginning of Oct. and needed to complete it by Christmas. I finally had to make a "production schedule" for myself, each day with a specific amout that had to get done.
Just be cautious easy does not always equal fast ... Although like I said I saw this listed on a site as Easy and fast.
