I wouldn't say the design I make is all that hard to do....but I have made about 25 of these....so it should be getting easy for me.
The biggest problems I've ever had was getting confused as to which strip to sew on to another or when sorting the strips into stacks to sew together to make the panel to sub-cut. I have a system that works for me, but if I get distracted in, I sometimes have to stop and get my thoughts together before going on.
If you are thinking of trying to make one of these, you might want to go to the tutorials posted and look/read through those first.
My turtorials are here.
