Thanks everyone. I was putting the pics on and thinking this is such a basic thing is it worth putting on. So I am glad it is of help to you all.
To me making half square triangles is the next step up from cutting plain squares. I hate to see so many struggling with making them so I thought I would post my method.
CJ I am so happy that it works well for you! So now you can put together any quilt block with HSTs and there are tons of them out there!!
Happy quilting everyone!!
