Don't just take a square and cut it once diagonally......you will have bias edges all the way around....could spell disaster for a relatively new quilter. Check out the sites/ways to do setting triangles to do it correctly - the initial block is cut diagonally, but twice on a much larger square, thus giving you a nice straight of grain edge...
Go to your local library and get a few quilt books.......there is usually how to pages in these books tag will also help you....
