Well the first one you do can get a bit tricky, that's why my LQS saw mine and asked if I'd be willing to teach a class. 90% is really quite simple. It's mostly when you get to sewing the finished square and begin to sew them together that everyone gets confused. On my first one it took me an hour to figure out what I was doing wrong. I ended up adding an additional line on the pattern using the template that comes with the pattern. You flip the template over and trace the line again so that it looks mirror image. I have a picture of what I drew on each block and will try to post it. If you do this, you just make sure you match the squares back sides together with the lines matching up the same on each side. See the pic. After doing four of them, I now know how to do it with just one line.
