Default Deviating from pattern instructions

The instructions for this quilt pattern directed that it be completed with hundreds of individual pieces, squares and triangles. It appeared to me that it could be done with strip piecing, assemble in diagonal rows then put in setting triangles. It took a bit of math. The squares needed to be slightly larger for measuring convenience. I found a website with a formula for sizing the setting triangles and it worked. Strip piecing is much faster and easier. Patterns can be improved.
