Well, I like to make things hard on myself, so I'm tracing the pattern out of the book (software is not in the budget) onto freezer paper, cutting the pieces apart, ironing them onto the fabric, then sewing it all together. Whatever method that may be! lol It works for me. The little star in the middle of my first block came out a little wonky, but it's 17 pieces in a square inch for crying out loud! I'm satisfied with it, and expect decent results in general.
I will add- I'm thinking now would be a good time for me to learn how to paper piece, at least for a few of these blocks! The first one I made, I was licking my finger to make the tiniest pieces stick, in order to pick them up, they were just specks! lol
