The hard thing bout this particular pattern, to me anyway, is the small pieces involved in the porch and rails area, the other parts are no harder than the church block I think...for these small parts, I would suggest not following the numbers the pattern suggest for PP..I always find it easier and more accurate to start in the middle and then add to each side, versus starting on one side and proceeding further. Just make sure once your have all the parts pieced, leave the paper on, match the parts together so that the 1/4 inch seam line on the outside is matching on both pieces, and then baste on the line, open and check that it matches good enough and if it does, go ahead and sew it down.. If not, at least you don't have to rip the tiny stitches.
Hope this helps you. Come back if you need more assistance.
