How would you do this?

Jinny Beyer is a famous "hand piecer". She can turn out quilts done completely by hand faster than most people can do them with a machine. Hand piecing makes doing those inset seams & oddball shapes easier but the time spent cutting out the templates and fabric and marking points is way more tedious than I want to deal with. She does have other patterns that are more machine friendly.
Even paper piecing this one would be challenging.

Starting in the center with no. 1's sew them together, then follow with no. 2's and keep adding according to the number and you should be able to make the block. What puzzles me is, what colors to use? Two, three or more?

There is a reason this is classified as "advanced" on Jinny's website.
You should probably piece the four outside sections (6, 8, 8, 5, 4) first, then the four star sections should be next (2, 3, 3) and (2, 7). Finally, the center (1, 1) and join all the sections together.
Since Jinny does not add seam allowances to the pattern pieces, it should be fairly easy to print out several copies of the templates, trim them down and tape them together for a paper piecing project.
