I made one in a class. It went together better than I thought it would. It is a lot of work....but actually not that hard to do if you read the directions carefully. You do have to take the paper off the back and the stitching of the some of the pointed seams can be a bit tricky. When It was done, I sure did not know how to quilt it....so I had Karen McTavish quilt it for me. She did a beautiful job of it and I have gifted it to my nephew as he is planning on hanging it.
