I think the book(s) are invaluable if you want to do one. There are very precise and easy to follow pictorial instructions for choosing fabrics, layering and cutting, construction and design ideas.
Her instructions are terrific, even for beginners. The most difficult part may be finding that great fabric with the wide approx. 24" repeat. Your design board is crucial to the process. Warning: if you ever start a OBW you may always be hunting for the next project. It is such fun. :D
