I am a big fan of NOT working with triangles. SO I use the "diagonal corners" trick and uses squares, sew across the diagonal and trim off the little pieces that you don't need. REALLY useful for 1.5" squares. They are so tiny, no one in their right mind would be sane after trying to work with the triangles that size. By lining up a square to a square and sewing diagonally it eliminates the guess work of where to sew.
HEre's how it would look: take a small square and line it up on a bigger square, sides even with the larger square's side. Sew diagonally across the smaller square. Snip and toss the tiny triangle piece that you don't need. Press and you're on your way to doing the pinwheel puzzle!!
