Default Tumbling blocks overconfident rookie mistake :(

So, I decided to make a tumbling blocks quilt, looked up a pattern online, cut a bunch of 60 degree diamonds, laid them out on my design board. So far, so good. I started sewing rows of blocks, navigating my Y seams just fine with a little patience.

But now I have to join my rows. How on earth do I do this? I took a couple of stabs at it, and then ripped it apart.

Now I see that most people use diamonds and triangles and sew them in straight columns. Ugh! Does anyone have any idea how to navigate the zig and zag of joining tumbling block rows?..
