allo!
how would you piece this?
i mean....once you made the templates for the pieces how would you put them together?
i am tempted to make the pieces and just experiment, but you guys might save me some wasted thread and fun (tears).

It looks like a paper piecing foundation to me.
hrm. do you think it has to be foundation piecing? my brain has such a hard time with that...i end up wasting loads of fabric when i try it.

I bought that pattern several years ago on EBay. I paper pieced it.

Hi Jan, I think it is a peacock bird. I had to take a double take.
A Good Friend, like an old quilt, is both a Treasure and a Comfort
i ended up hand piecing it. jewel eye to come, but it's pretty awesome
i couldn't find that peacock blog this time. i hope it's not gone forever. it was old tech...

If you are making templates to cut, then sew the pieces together I would sew in this order (I hope I have the piece names/numbers correct)
D1, E1, and B2 - sew this unit together
F1, C2 and H1 - sew this unit together
I2 and J1 sew this unit together
Sew G1 to the F1, C2 and H1 unit
Sew the D1, E1 B2 unit to the floral unit
Sew the I2, J1 unit to the other side of the floral unit
Sew the floral unit to the F1, C2, H1, G1 unit
Some folks mentioned paper piecing, and you can do that IF you straighten out those curved lines in F1, C2 and the floral unit. If you do this, paper piece it in the same order as above.
May your stitches always be straight, your seams always lie flat, and your grain never be biased against you.

There is a blog about this quilt block. She made templates from it, maybe you could figure it out from there?
I went to Pinterest, and searched peacock quilt block, and her quilt version was there amongst many.
