Not really. Depends. Like I said, you're looking to make a really cool contemporary quilt for your friend, not a heirloom quilt with perfect applique that's going to hang in a museum. Doesn't mean it won't last as long.
Have you ever done machine applique before? Do you like hand applique? Ever work with fusibles? Any paper-piecing?What method are YOU comfortable with.
There are many, many different ways to do these blocks.
Once you figure out the plan, the sewing is pretty repetitive.
You've already figured out your desired color scheme. That's usually half the battle.
Just a note: if you reverse the triangles, you get a square on point in a square. Do you want that shape or are you looking for a 45 degree (or 60) diamond shape instead? They wouldn't be any more work.
How big a quilt are you planning?
