If you are really crazy about the FG unit, you can try this set, using them both in the blocks and in the border.

 

This set breaks the rules about matching the block grids. It works because it takes advantage of  the optical illusion in the center block of the top row. This looks like a pebble has been tossed in the lake, giving you ripples. The larger triangle in the adjacent block just continues that feeling.

 

Another rule breaker - this one works because the points will match.  The border geese units could be complex to piece but if you start by sewing together the light and dark strips and cut your starter rectangles from that strip set, it will go together like any other FG unit.

 

 

Here's another set with a strong diagonal feel. This one uses fewer geese.  If lighter values are used, the diagonal units will be less pronounced.

 

Two different diagonal blocks are used to create a sort of Double X effect.
