LÖVE

I'm working on a falling block game that uses triangle-shaped blocks. There are several colors of triangle blocks, and these are kept in a single image -- each color block is stored in its own quad. No animation is needed, because each block can be rotated into 1 of 2 positions -- pointing up or down.

When the game starts, one triangle (a quad) is randomly created, and once it hits the ground -- it is stored in the SpriteBatch, and herein lies my question: Once I've added it to the SpriteBatch, is there no way to pull out the (x, y), width, or height of that quad? I wanted to use what the SpriteBatch already contained for collision detection, but can't seem to find a way in to do that. Do I really need to duplicate the data in another structure so that I can iterate through it and check for collisions?

Thanks in advance! I'm new to Löve2D, but so far it's great and easy to adapt to coming from Microsoft's XNA platform.
