I would say try it. You CAN do it take the challenge then if you get stuck we are here for you. I thought the log cabin was a hard block and would not try it. See my avatar i did it and it was easy. One step at a time you can do it and I bet it would turn out beautiful!

You'll be fine, just "do it!"

I agree, Intermediate!

I would say that some blocks are fairly easy and others a little more difficult, but I certainly think you can do it.

If you practice making some PP pieces that are fairly easy and you make something like a runner or tabletop, and you have no problems, I say go for it. I think it is a great quilt for a confident beginner, too.
