Are you an accomplished seamstress who is just starting to quilt? If so, go for it. If not, then I agree with Wendy. It is not a difficult quilt, but there are so many lessons to learn on your FIRST TOP that it would be better to start piecing with something simpler. YBR (Yellow Brick Road) was my first quilt, and wow! did I learn a lot about 1/4 inch seams even on that simple pattern.
