It is indeed a lovely pattern ... and is going to make for one beautiful quilt!

As to how to speed up the piecing, I am thinking you have probably experimented in all the ways possible, but here's my insights from what I see. The pattern is basically one block made in two colourways, and it take four to complete a star, with more stars started in the corner. Could you assembly line quilt the similar parts of each block (eg. all the 4 patches). Then assembly line all the components you ahve made into the blocks?

We'll be here to cheer you on ... and watch this quilt come together!
