half square triangles
I see people sewing corner to corner and then cutting but I have also seen them sew two squares together all the way around and then cut corner to corner. I did it this way for the half square triangle chevron I just did. Does it make any difference how you make the triangles?

If you sew around the outside of the square, then cut corner to corner, the HSTs have bias sides. As long as you don't stretch them then you are all set. I have a preference for triangles cut with straight of grain edges, but many folks like the quicker method.

No, it really doesn't matter with your method. As long as they are accurate, that is all that matters. I won't do it with bias edges since unless you are skilled and have knowledge on how to deal with bias edges, you should just stay away from that technique.
