Thank you everyone for the links and comments! I looked at the Carol Doak page and she said that some patterns are not meant to be paper pieced... I think this is one of them. I didn't realize how many Y seams there were- which would be very difficult to paper piece as far as i can tell. I think i'm just going to do it the way the book says to. :) I'll post up a pic if I can ever get this figured out! HAHAHA... (did i mention that i've decided to make this quilt for a benefit silent auction and it needs to be done April 10th! oh and that this is only my 4th quilt!... I'm feeling slightly overwhelmed) :shock:

If you change the "V", think cleavage, in your stars, it really wouldn't be very hard to rotary cut & piece half square triangles like the examples given on Quilter's Cache. If you want to paper piece it though, you'll definitely want to change the Y seams. Most, if not all, are in your background so if you use a solid or near solid background--it will still look like your design when finished.
Break the block into quarters and just work on one quarter at a time. A rough draft of what I came up with is below:
