Default I have lost my mind...

...as I've found a challenge, so, I'll cope! Ok. I picked up a bag of hundreds of triangles, in ten different colors, all solids, already cut for $1.00. ( Don't tell me you don't get inspired from time to time and have lots of "great ideas" floating around in your head! )
Anyway, they're all 3" on the straight of grain edges, and just a hair over 4" on the bias edge.
I'm considering a dutchman's puzzle block, and can find lots of info on making flying geese units from squares, but none for using pre cut triangles, and I need handling guidance for these small triangles, as well as how to sew them so the tips don't get sewn into the seams when the units are joined and then the finished blocks are joined.
Does anyone have a video so I could see how it might be done? (Truthfully, the later it gets, the harder to follow written directions!
Other blocks might work better, like broken dishes, so I can sew together the bias edges carefully, then only have to deal with the straight grain edges.
Thoughts?
