I don't know how to find it again but it was two weeks ago. None of these rulers work for long, I lose them or forget them.
Yep, this is the way I do it too. One can make that first square any size you want. I made so many when I first learned that I have borders and straight-line sashings from those 1/2 sq triangles ready for charity quilts any day. The tut I liked the best is from the Missouri Star Quilting Company. Gosh, it was amazing how much I learn from their other tutorials too! Good luck.
