Have you tried the sew then cut method for hlf square triangles? Cut your squares 1 inch bigger than the finished size you need. Mark a diagonal line on the back of one of the squares. Place the two squares right sides together and sew 1/4 inch from your marked line on EACH side. Cut on the marked line. You will now have 2 half square triangle blocks you can trim to the perfect finished size.
I just watched an Eleanor Burns quilting show on the RFD channel on Wednesday night and she was sewing squares then cutting triangles on her Orion's Star. I am going to try that today. Thanks for the tip!
