I agree with Betty. If your repeat is at least 8 inches apart, this would make a very interesting quilt. The "One Block Wonders" book tells how to cut the fabric and how many layers you would need of the repeats.
You would then probably need only a couple or so border fabrics and a backing fabric. I have made some very successful quilts from this book.
Just be careful of stretching when piecing together because some of the triangle edges will be, of necessity, on-the-bias.

I was going to go with the warm wishes blocks, but I'm thinking I may go with the Rectangles behind Bars after all...I laid out some of the fabric and I do think it would look like the pigs were in a pen, which is probably the idea I had when I originally saw the pattern and bought the pig fabric, but that was a year ago and I'd forgotten.

Warm wishes is easy. Three strips that when sewn together equal the size of the block. Then just sew together, I did one with 61/2 in blocks, 2 1/2 in strips sewn together, cut into 6 1/2 inch segments then sew in strips. just remember to keep the 2 outside fabrics going back and forth to create the pattern around the squares.
