some of the triangle dies can cut 3 or 4 units at a time - just sew the right sides of two strips on both lengthwise edges, place them carefully on to the triangle die, cut, and you have pieced half square triangles to put into your quilt. After you've done it a few times you can really reduce waste, too.
You can also use the strip dies in a similar manner to make strip pieced blocks, like you do with jelly rolls. I happen to love checker board quilts, so the strip cutters get lots of use! I also cut the strips for 1/2 square triangles using the strip dies.
