Yes, exactly. I did this method with charm squares and was so excited. But then my HSTs came out so stretchy and they looked awful. I pinned the heck out of them and still couldn't get the points to match right. The project became a UFO very quickly
Quilt Fan suggested this in an earlier post:
To avoid bias edges on the hqt cut bias strips the size of the beginning square and then cut squares. After sewing together and cutting the 4 finished half square triangles will have straight grain edges.
