    Thank you to all of you that gave me great suggestions.
    SQ is just short for square.

    There is no pattern to go by. I work better without a pattern. I think that may have been the problem with the other way I was doing it.

    Wow!! You have really made lemonade out of a lemon, huh. Great thinking.

    Thank you everyone. I feel so relieved now that I have decided to change the quilt altogether.

    If your triangles don't want to line up, you might want to consider putting narrow sashing between the blocks. Love your idea!

    I agree with everyone else, great job turning this dreaded task into something you enjoy. And something that will be a one of a kind quilt. Keep up the great work.
