Default Trip Around the World - on point

My late great-aunt made a beautiful Trip Around the World quilt circa 1955--all hand cut, pieced and quilted. I would like to make a copy of it, but I can't find any modernized instructions on how to make efficient strip sets that would suit this particular pattern:
  • 7 sets of color groups with 4 patterns in each
  • continuous patches not separated by solid fabric fields
  • set on point with a startiing with a single row of 5 in the center
  • the border is the bias-bound zigzag edge of the outermost color

I modeled it in Excel, calculated likely yardages for the 28 different fabrics, and identified the five central symmetrical starting strips, but now I'm stuck. Where do I go from here?
