The come out good too!
The book is the Basic Guide to Rotary Cut Quilts (yes I'm that much of a newb) by Fond & Porter.
The method I'm using, or rather trying to use, is where you simply sew diagonally from one point of the square to the opposite corner and then trim off your 1/4" seam, and press.
Been practicing all evening and they don't seem to be getting any better. Maybe I just have to do it the other way. Just sew half square triangles together instead.
Mine come out all screwy, points don't match and I always have a lot of squaring up to do. Maybe it's just too advanced for me right now.
