Default If YOU were piecing this quilt, how would YOU do it? (And why?)

Hi all! I've been toying with patterns for a friend's wedding quilt in the fall and I think I've finally settled on one that I like. I found it on one of those 'pattern a day' calendar pages that I snagged from Aunt Ruth's discard pile. It provides the detailed appearance of the block, but no piecing instructions. While I can certainly manage the construction, I was wondering if anyone had any ideas that might make it easier, faster, or more accurate than the "obvious" solution?

Here are a few details about fabric choices:

- Blocks are all 12" (finished)

- The pale yellow background and orange triangles will all be one fabric (not scrappy)

- I plan on using 15 different fabrics for the rest of the top (1 "circle" and 3 small squares each) which will leave me needing a total of seven 4" (finished) squares and four HST each.

Any time-saving construction tips?
