Answer to the question, "Can a beginner...." I am far from being a quilter. I am more a crafter!

A couple of things....go to Missouri Star Quilting and watch their video on "tube method" quilting. While the 'puzzle' is not a tube, the METHOD of cutting the triangles is the same.

As long as a person carefully cuts the fabric and carefully sews 1/4 inch seams....everything else is easy!

So the answer is YES a beginner can make the Star Spin or New Orleans Puzzle! This pattern only LOOKS difficult.
