This could be paper pieced. Connie has the right idea. Just cut apart on the diagonal line, than cut apart the other two vertical lines and start paper piecing. Be sure and add your 1/4 seam allowance to each side of your cut sections.

I think I'll need to take a course in paper piecing (or is there a youtube video on same? mm... i'll go check...). I tried following print instructions from a book once and just threw up my hands.

"How long did it take?" mm... too long is all I remember. (This was over ten years ago...) Keep in mind that the quilt I'd done shortly before this one I did in a weekend! ;-) I was SO naively ignorant back then. It took months of pretty much not working on anything else. I seem to recall trying to do one 12" square in an evening-- that is, of course, after all the pieces were cut. Each 12" square is made of up 8 "pie pieces" and it may have taken oh... an hour for each "pie piece"? That probably included the cutting. I dunno... somewhere in there.

Connie, do you have the book?

What book is it in? I'd like to try and find it if it is still being published. I love paper piecing.
