Sew two 8's to each 6 and add a 5 and 4 to two of them. Unit 3 with the 4 & 5. Unit 4 without.
Now join unit 1 to unit 3 and unit 4 twice
You will have two seams with kinks in them to add unit 2 between these two pieces.
I'd do it from the outside in... LOL.

If I were making this (and I might someday), I would start by piecing the 6 & 8 triangles together, making 4 of them,

then putting on the "border" for them (the 4 & 5)

Then I would make the two 3 & 2 triangles

Attach the large 4,5,6,8 triangles to the 3& 2 triangles.

Make the 7, 2,1 wedge and then attach the other 2 sides.

Yes, you will have to deal with a very wide Y-join in 4 places, but it's doable.

Or I would foundation piece the entire thing.
