Don't let the complexity scare you away. If you follow the instructions that come with the pattern, you should not have a problem. I have made many of her patterns, never having a problem. I was intimidated at first also, now I am hooked and look forward to each new pattern she comes out with. Get out of your comfort zone and challenge yourself, you won't be sorry.
I made Judy's "Crown of Thorns" and yes all that she gives you is worth the money if you like doing these sort of projects. I love doing them. I'm going to do the Agave Garden Pattern in 2011. Once you get in a rhythm of making the blocks, for me anyway, it's calming. The biggest obstacle is the fabric usage, but if its something I want bad enough I figure out how to get it, without going into debt of course and doing without the basics. I can say this at this time because my children are grown and more of the income my DH and I have can go for hobbies such as this. I love her new pattern but I can only have one Judy pattern at a time. (Mind game). If anyone starts this pattern or any Judy pattern I would love to see your progress.
