There are a lot of size lists out there to give you the proper measurements for setting squares, Do a search and I'm sure you will find one that works for you. Doing on point settings is not hard at all. I have to look up the title of the table I use and will do a posting with it.
I like the method where you cut the setting square big enough to cut the square in quarters and the resulting triangles fit the edges and there is no bias edge on the outside of the quilt.
I have, ( when I don't have enough material) just cut a setting square 2" bigger than the quilt block and just cut it in half. Sew it in place and trim the excess after. This method does have bias edges though.
Hope this helps a little.
peace
EDIT: here is a handy chart to help with on point settings. It is so easy and you get a big quilt real fast!!
An added bonus!
