Here is what I would do.... find a pattern you like, either on line or in a store. Then, cut the pieces based on the pattern piece. In other words
I am thinking like a jig saw puzzle. If you take each section, many pattern pieces that I use have tear drop shapes and have at least 5 panels. If you take each panel once you have cut various pieces then just sew the pieces together so that you have one panel. Then repeat with the other panels.
At least in my mind's eye it looks like it will work.
