storm at sea's are really beginner friendly...very easy components, they just look complicated when they are all together. anyone at any skill level could complete one. the piecing is very basic, no inset seams, 3 blocks make up one storm block, a 3" block a 3" x 6" block and a 6" block...thats it.
the book is a good one, and the template/ruler set is great! i am so glad i went ahead and purchased them. the book does have templates in it though if you don't want to buy the ruler set
