IF you do buy the book and start a quilt, don't forget to use the Clearview Ruler from Marcie Baker. Marcie's techniques with triangles have been known for well over a decade, but, as they employ 60 degree angles - with those bias edges - they can be daunting for some quilters. If you are familiar with regular log cabin construction, you can do this kind of log cabin construction -- it's still just straight stitching after all -- but this will require patience, attention, and careful cutting.
Go for it! If it's too much, you can put it aside, come back to it in a few months and likely find you're grown to the point where you can enjoy it; the end will justify the means!
