Even though this looks interesting, I am working on Bonnie Hunter Mystery quilt and the way she cuts triangles with an EZ angle ruler works very well. I never plan to draw another line...LOL.

Id like to try it. I have an easy angle ruler, but where in the heck did I put it?

You could use any size large squares that are sized by multiples of the HST you need. Use the method shown here. You could use the 8-at-a-time method to make 16 or 32 or 64 HST also.

I have found a solution to keeping up with my rulers...I have them hanging on the way behind my sewing/laundry room door. Just pound little nails in the wall to the depth that I can hang two rulers of similar size on each one. Now I just need to go to that wall to see if I own a particular ruler or to easily find what I need. No special racks to purchase. No counter space needed. No digging through the drawer that I used to store them in, where they would migrate all over the place to the wrong areas.

I use Triangulations software. No marking, no work, just sew and cut along the lines. There's also available for FREE a version from quiltingandwhatnot.com. Quilt-Pro also had their version for sale for $9.95. Don't know if it is still on sale. I LOVE using Triangulations! If I don't need a full page of whatever size, then I just cut the paper in strips or half-pages before sewing. When you cut along the lines, you also cut the dog-ears off so there's no going back and doing that later. Triangulations works wonderfully, and HST come out perfect every time.
