To get more variation in your blocks, I would treat your fabric as though the repeat is larger.
For example, if you buy 10 yards (360 inches), you could cut it into six 60" repeats. Then cut 7" triangles. You would get eight rows of triangles, and every row will be unique. This allows a little bit of room for straightening between rows; technically you can cut 7.5" triangles, but I found that having a bit of wiggle room was very helpful.
