i couldn't figure out a truly efficient order of piecing for you.
refer to the attached .pdf file to see one suggestion.

once you get the top and bottom halves assembled - minus the fussy cut center - you'd have two choices:
1- sew the two halves together and the inset the center square using a 4-point inset
2- use a 3-point inset to add the center to either the top or bottom and then a 4-point inset to attach the top.
