I see 5 perfectly straight vertical columns of equal width. I see a perfect square. I see 24 blocks, plus Center Block which appears to be two halfs sewn together. (Total 25 blocks) If 5 blocks across are each a tidy 12-inch width, the overall width is 60 inches. It appears the visible binding is half inch wide, so the width of one column would be approximately 11 inches. You would need paper foundations each marked precisely with the correct angles. You would need a LOT of strips of solid colors. Make 2 or 3 photocopies of this quilt, number the blocks, cut one Photocopy apart into 25 blocks. (MARK the WIDTH with 2-headed Arrow, MARK Top so that no block is flipped)

Blocks will be numbered: Column one has 5 Blocks (top to bottom): Col. 1 #1, Col. 1 #2, Col. 1 #3. Col. 1 #4, Col. 1 #5) Enlarge each Numbered Block, so the WIDTH is 13 inches to allow for trimming. (Largest blocks may need 2 photocopy enlargements taped together) These enlargements are your foundation papers. Draw lines at the correct angles, divided into rays up to 3 or 4 inches maximum width) Divide your fabrics into White, light, med., Dark. Sew strips precisely onto drawn lines. Use rotary cutter to trim to size, (Adding seam allowances on all sides). Cut enlarged photocopy Center block into two with lines radiating from one centeral point. Make center extral large and then Sew two Center-Halves very carefully, matching CenterPoint. If you aren't sure, create an entire paper quilt with lines drawn FIRST, then begin to lay strips for sewing. Good Luck.
