Definitely check out paper piecing for this particular block. Quilter's Cache has that pattern, she has a tutorial on paper piecing. There's also a lot of good tutorials on paper piecing, one that I can think of, is Carol Doak. On my printer, Quilter's Cache paper piece patterns, I find that I need to adjust the size to get the test square to come out to 1", so you might need to do that. Best of luck, and please don't forget to show us your block. We love pictures.
Make sure that you leave the paper on until you're ready to get the top ready for quilting, and don't forget to shorten your stitches.
