Sheep Farmer-beautiful quilt and I have been thinking about making this quilt but it certainly is way down on my bucket list. You did a great job and maybe with the ruler I could make it work. Thx for sharing.

This is what I have done as well.

I like to use PPing for this block. It makes it so easy and almost fool proof for me. I get distracted easily and PPing keeps me on track.

Paper piecing, though tedious, has worked best for me. An alternative might be Bonnie Hunter's Pineapple Blossom.

I have done it both ways but it depends on how confident you are with your 1/4" seam. PP is next to perfect

I use the Creative Grids ruler and also took a class with its designer Jean Wright [she is an awesome teacher], and the great thing is you use strips. It makes 6,8 or 10 inch blocks. No paper, razor sharp accurate blocks, love it!
