Wow! My third quilt had triangles. Nothing to fear but fear itself! Jump in feet first with a small project or just play with scraps. Its not as hard as some make it out to be. I had no idea what I was doing when I first made them and everything came out fine. so maybe all my points weren't sharp, who cares! The reciever didn't, that was 6 years ago and he still loves the quilt. When I made it I had no idea about all the things that could go wrong. Don't listen to the Negative Nellies around here and just do it! You'll love the outcome I promise!
