Sorry, I've never used the Easy Angle. I really haven't done that many HST's or QST's to have developed a favorite method for making them. I've tried several different methods, just haven't settled on one yet.
I agree with all of MTS's comments. I do think that larger blocks would be better on a larger quilt, and I don't think I would use FQ's for this pattern because of the waste. I would look for a FQ-friendly pattern instead, or use yardage.
