If you are familiar with regular log cabin construction, you can do this kind of log cabin construction -- it's still just straight stitching after all -- but this will require patience, attention, and careful cutting.
Go for it! If it's too much, you can put it aside, come back to it in a few months and likely find you're grown to the point where you can enjoy it; the end will justify the means!

I agree that the accurate cutting is essential and of course 1/4 inch seam is just as important. It's one of my favorite patterns...so many possibilities. Have fun...most of all. Don't stress and enjoy.
