It's pretty straight forward if you have the tool & watch the video; I don't think you'll need the book. http://www.hgtv.com/video/wedding-ri...deo/index.html

There are 4 different videos, I believe, and at one time there was a single page with directions.
I took a class where we used Rings That Bind. It was fun. There were only 3 or 4 of us at the shop in the class. What was funny was that many quilters came in and saw what we were making and told us they wish they had signed up too but that the cover of the book was too off-putting. We each used our own colors. Some of us used this method with a quilt-as-you go style so we had ours completed fairly fast.

I like John Flynn's way, too. My disclaimer is that at one time I taught math, so that is why I liked it. It made sense to me.
