How frustrating! I have seen several methods for putting them together....I am going to use a star shape in a contrasting colour rather than the traditional path a) When I finally finish making enough b) When I unearth my misplaced pattern.
Here is a link to a traditional GFG - page two has pretty clear visuals on how they go together, hope it helps. Don't forget to show us your quilt (even as a WIP) ...you know how we love pics. Let us know if this is helpful or not...nothing worse than not being able to figure it out.
