Would you show a photo of how you cut the triangles? I am not getting a visual and I would love to set your tutorial in my
mind so I remember to do it that way. The blocks are super.[/quote]
Ok, here is how I cut the strips, the ruler I used, another ruler that is good for smaller blocks and the 2 blocks I got from the 3rd strip. These blocks are not in final position, I just threw them together for a quick photo.

I used the 12" square but you can also use the triangle ruler

the end pieces are for scrap, the triangles from one side of the strip go together to make one block
