Default Isn't there an easier way?

Isn't there and easier way? I mean my eyes are getting old and to see 3/8" will drive me bonkers and that even count the miss-cuts.

Here is the portion of directions... 14 (6 3/8"-wide) strips. From strips, cut 84 (6 3/8") squares. Cut squares in half diagonally to make 168 half square triangles.

I know many times I see where people say cut the strips/squares up or to 6 1/2" and trim down but I don't 'get' how to do this when I have to cut them to make the half square triangles... I'm such a visual learner and the pattern from the magazine, which I purchased their download (FONS AND PORTERS QUILTY MAGAZINE NOV/DEC 2013 'Black Arrow') in the pattern it states there is a video but of course when I went to the website you have to subscribe to QNN to see the 'free' video.

I want to make the supposedly fast and easy quilt in patriotic colors for my brother who is about to start Radiation and Chemo treatments
