I have made FG Vintage 2 quilt that is on the cover of the book. 20 12" blocks and 30 6" blocks. Here are my suggestions:
starch the fabric before cutting. Instead of pinning the "little flippy corners" I used a couple of tiny dots of Elmer's School glue to hold it in place before sewing. The glued corner is then cut off after stitching. Make sure each section is square before proceeding on with the construction. Have fun, don't stress. It will all work out.
There is a print out sheet for the quilt I made on Lori Holt's website that gives a list of the blocks in this quilt. Makes it easier to keep track. I had joined the Farm Girl Fridays group to make this quilt. 2 blocks a week, started in November ended in April.
