I think it's entirely do-able for anyone who has good accurate cutting and seam-stitching skills. The pieces are relatively big, so it goes fairly quickly. I think the pattern is written very clearly and with great illustrations which makes it easy to follow her method. I'd not want to do it without the super side kick ruler-- though of course you can make it with just the templates in the pattern. I just prefer the speed and accuracy of cutting with a ruler. You may run into issues with pressing-- Julie usually presses seams open, which I don't love, but I do follow her suggestion to do so with quilts like this one where many points are coming together.
