That is a great way - my only complaint with that method is that you end up with edges that are bias. I do mine this way:
1. 2 - 6" squares right sides tog
2. mark corner to corner both directions
3. sew scant 1/4" on both sides of the two lines
4. cut on the lines.
Makes eight HSTs that are raw edge to raw edge 2.5" trimmed.
