Default Help Needed: Method to Piece the "Seeds of Life" Curves!

Hey everyone

I'm working on a "Seeds of Life" quilt pattern that I designed myself, and I'm really struggling with piecing the curves. I've cut out all my pieces and tried sewing them, but every single seam is on a curve, and I just can't seem to get it right.

I've watched countless YouTube videos, tried endless pinning, glue basting, and even my own "caveman" method, but I'm still not successful. I did figure out that the bigger the curved pieces are, the easier they seem to be to sew, but that's about the extent of my progress! I haven't tried Wonder Tape yet, and I've also found that the "pinch method" to find the center doesn't really work well with the different shapes in this design.

I've attached a picture of one of my attempts so you can see what I'm up against. I've seen one or two finished "Seeds of Life" designs online, but they don't offer much in the way of piecing instructions.
