I made placemats first. Cotton Theory is reversible and doesn't matter front or back. I think it could work with less quilting rows than she recommends but mine doesn't feel too stiff.
I've also made the Fun and Done. It has the pattern on one side, while you can reverse it, the back is very plain. It goes a lot faster without so much planning, cutting, and organization. I felt like I had accomplished something by the time I completed the Attic Windows. I like them both for the reason that each block is quilted as I go. With Georgia Bonesteel I still had to hand stitch the back and I don't like hand work. Ugh. I want instant gratification.
