I purchased the pattern, and so far have cut out all of the pieces. If I would have written the pattern, I probably would have strip pieced at least the first few sections, but that's just me. It really took me several readings through to figure it all out - but I seem to not be as well able to follow patterns as I used to be. I'm not old, I'm not I'm not I'm not! LOL
I'll keep you all posted - hopefully I'll have some piecing done soon.
