Yes, it it is a tedious process...but there are some "shortcuts". When I wanted to do one I checked out all tutes to see what seemed to work best....I like the tute from Eddie here on board.......but even with all machine sewing it is not a quickie. My friend did a bed size...took her two yrs...it was an after work destressor, road trip project(she did the turn back by hand)......I am doing mine (on hiatus now ) all machine....I only have what would be a Bedrunner now....will pick up on it in fall again....maybe! I'm sure the ring pillow will be gorgeous!
