Karla, its not hard at all! Its just an uneven 9 patch and alternate block. Pretty much a no brainer.

Karla,

Take a deep breath and look at it. It's a single Irish Chain. They don't come any easier. Instead of even 9 patch blocks for the chain you make the strip set for the middle with a slightly wider middle piece and cut that section into slightly wider slices.

You can do it in your sleep!
