This was one of my first quilt too and I learned a lot about reading patterns and understanding them. Make a practice block or several. Pressing seams in the opposite directions so they nest when piecing the blocks.
Have fun with this one.
peace

Eleanor Burns has a great pattern that is broken down step by step. It is called "Single and double Irish Chain " quilt in a day". Check Amazon.com or alibris.com to find a used copy?

I've done a single, double and triple Irish Chain quilts, and they lend themselves beautifully with strip piecing and are not difficult. The only "difficult" part is keeping the strip sets in the correct order, which can be easily done with a small paste up block to keep you on track. The double Irish Chain is an easy quilt to make. Hope you can post a picture when it's finished.
