Please explain - wouldn't both methods use the same amount of fabric just in a different starting shape? Thanks.

It is generally easier to cut a 9 inch strip and cut your setting triangles from it, than to cut an 18 inch square and cut it on one or two diagonals. You also only need to buy 9 inches instead of 18.

But actually you only NEED paper, pencil, scissors, needle and thread, everything else is luxury, but I would not be a quilter without the modern tools. We all choose which tools are most worthwhile to ourselves.
