Try looking carefully at each one and finding the triangles that match perfectly from among the others. Some of your units are half one pattern and half another. Before going further, I'd match as many as possible into identical triangles.
I think you will be happier with those results alone. When I cut one of these OBWs, I pin each stack together before I start looking at them, then I only have one stack at a time open and spread out. That way I can keep them seperate until I have sewed them.
Good luck, hugs and smiles... it will be wonderful anyway, so don't fret over things too much.
Wildyard, you are absolutely correct I did mix them because some looked really horrid. I did keep them all together and pinned them all that way but when I opened them they were not right so I started mixing to get some decent designs. Not to worry I have learned a bunch from this. You have to make mistakes to learn sometimes and boy do I learn the hard way LOL
