They're not hard to do. My SIL and I took a class in it. That's my avatar. It's a matter of prep. Mine is a QAYG type. Lay the backing down, spray w/adhesive, lay the batting down, lay the iron-on gridded interfacing down, press in place (I use one w/1" squares), then pin the layers together. The gridded interfacing greatly helps in keeping everything aligned properly. The class didn't teach that, they had you draw lines on batting. Not a good way to go. Sew your strips of fabric together (they call them runs), cut them into the sizes needed, then start by sewing the middle strip set down. You work out from the center. Then it's just sewing strips down with 1/4" seams, making sure everything stays straight. My SIL figures she sewed hers about 1 1/2 times, she did so much ripping out. She used a plaid to line the strips up with. For me, the interfacing makes it easier. The book I used was Bargello Quilts by Marge Edie. She has patterns and she shows you how to make your own design.
