I don't think it's any different than paper piecing, only you don't have to pull off the nasty paper...JMHO

Perhaps somewhere in the 20 previous posts before yours that you didn't read, the answer and/or links were provided to answer that question.

And if all else fails, there is always this:

probably is to fold it at this point and stitch a 1/4" seam on the lines to enclose those raw edges.

Exactly right. No diamonds, no bias, no blocking, no stretching.
Once you get the hang of it, you can finish all 8 sections in a couple/few hours.

I saw a demo at a quilt show using the technique (on fusiable foundation) to make a T-Shirt quilt. Looked much easier than the traditional way

I've never seen this before. I watched the video ... but have a question ... what do you do about the raw edges between the rows?

ETA --- duh, never mind. I actually did read all the posts but it didn't sink in until I read it again.

I had the same question and when I got my pattern it was amazed at how the lone star came together and matched up nice. Only thig was that it volcanoed on me, but was able to fix that. So at the end result, you will have no raw edges when the quilt is completed. Have a great day, Huggies, Fay
