I've made about a dozen, and taught it at a LQS for a couple of years.

It's involved. The most difficult and interesting part is choosing the fabrics. You need to have a LQS with a really, really big selection so you can make choices. It ain't something that's done in 15 minutes.

It's all about crazy patterned fabric that you would normally NEVER put together in a quilt.

If you ever decide to make one ;-), I've got a ton of tips.

Good luck!

Here's one that was just posted on the board this afternoon - check out her fabric selection:
