I have good friends who have done a number of Judy's quilts. They love her patterns. According to them Judy's instructions are excellent and easy too follow. Everything is done in great detail. They have never had a problem with her quilts coming out perfect. According to both of them, Judy's instructions are better than any other similar patterns. You say you're a good quilter--I say go for it. If it looks overwhelming, just do small sections at a time.
