I actually brought the book and have dedicated fabric to making 2 King size quilts. I have reviewed the book and don't feel it will be hard. Eleanor Burns' books have very good instructions. Everything was thought of. Just stay with the instructions and don't jump (like i wanted do sometimes) and you shouldn't have any problems. I also have the patterns for the Lone Star which is almost like EB' Star and decided that the directions were too confusing to me.
