You make them with triangles, but the angles on the triangles can be such that they form either a hexagon or an octagon when put together. If they form a hexagon, the hexagons fit together with no additional fabric. If an octagon, you have to add "corners" to form squares before putting the blocks together. Both are explained in the book One Block Wonders by Maxine Rosenthal. Most of the ones I have seen on the board are made with 60-degree equilateral triangles, forming hexagons. You start by sewing each half of the block together, then decide where to put each block on a design wall, then sew the quilt together in strips consisting of half-blocks. I highly recommend the book, or one of the later books by the same author.
