Strip piecing meaning the black is attached to each separate piece of the arc, and then those units are joined to create the arc?
That absolutely could work.

Yeah! That's exactly what I had in mind.

I was thinking it could be done a little easier by making a strip set (one black, one red) that's as wide at the DWR unit, placing the DWR unit template on top (lining the narrower part up with the edge of the black fabric), and cutting out the piece from there. This way there wouldn't be double the templates: one for the top half of the unit and one forthe bottom half of the unit. Again, I did say in theory so it may not work this way.
