It goes together really fast and it is a great way to use up smaller cuts of fabric. When I teach some of the younger gals at my church how to sew together block, many times I will use this pattern and let them try it out on our donated, sometimes small pieces of fabric. They all leave thinking that they have just done their first quilt because they were able to finish a lap quilt top in a couple of hours.
Good luck with it. You might also go to www.quilterscache.com and look at their block patterns, they tell you the difficulty and style of quilting for each block and there are hundreds of them.
