I think it is totally up to you if you want to make easy, simple, or whatever. I wouldn't let magazines decide for me or someone on a video! Sometimes just the color does it for me in a quilt and it doesn't have to be "hard" to do it for me to like it. Also some things are not easy at all for some people to do so what you think may be easy may not be for others. Do what you want and enjoy it.
