If you are talking about English Paper Piecing - it is not hard. That said, I would run for the hills as I HATE to do those. I don't see the appeal or the fun in it. grandmother's flower garden is not a pattern I would gravitate towards. That said, I have seen some AMAZING creations done with hexies. Some look like intricate mosaic-tile work. Just spectacular. So kudos to those who master the art and have the patience.
