rather than rectangles and squares ruling on the diagonal, sewing and then trimming excess away, if you know what I mean, to stop fabric wastage
I make another seam 1/2 inch from the first, then trim between. That way you end up with a bunch of squares that can be used in another project. I've heard of people who have made whole quilts from thes leftover squares. Kind of a nice bonus.
