matching those triangles can be very hard in the beginning. here is one tutorial i found from this board -

if you do a search for half square triangles you will find a lot of other information on making them easier.
keep quilting and show us your work. there are no quilting police here and many who will help.
and don't forget, a very consistant 1/4" seam allowance is vital to matching pieces.
