I totally agree - tilting your head to see the rows is the key! Like many other things with quilting and other crafts I just did it not knowing it was supposed to be hard. The first quilt that I made was a double irish chain on point. Luckily I had a pattern with great directions so it truly was not difficult.
I also agree with the other poster who mentioned labeling your blocks/rows. I use sticky notes and pin to the blocks/rows. I also find that sometimes it helps to start with laying out the longest row (diagonal corner to corner) and work to the smaller corners with the subsequent rows. Makes it a bit easier to see sometimes and make sure you're laying out your blocks in the proper order if there is a secondary design happening in the quilt.
As the saying goes...just do it! You'll love it.
