I've started drawing up my own paper pieced patterns. The main part is figuring out where to divide them up so you can sew them together.

to do this one paper pieced, you'd have to sew the units that make up arcs, and then sew the arks together, as you can not paper piece a curved seam.

Is your main concern getting it correct so the seams line up?

I'd be much more inclined to cut out the pieces and sew them into wedges. I'd use scissors and cut 4 layers at a time. It's kind of funny how many quilters I've run across who don't think to use scissors more. I have done a lot of clothing construction with lots of curved edges and tissue paper patterns pinned to fabric. And I've done quilt a bit of doll clothing, which is way more complicated pieces than any quilt I've done so far. I learned to use a rotary cutter about 5 years ago, so I'm still quick to grab my dressmaking shears if that makes things easier.
