I must be very lazy. When I cut HST I take two pieces of fabric the same size, right sides together sew around all four side (all the way to the end), then cut in half diagnonally, and cut in half diagonally again. Works for me.

If one is a bit OCD about grain-lines (any one you might think of, Rhonda?),
one can cut the strips on the bias (45 degree angle), sew them together, and then go on exactly like Rhonda has illustrated with the pressing and cutting.

But if you are making alot of the same color HSTs then this works the best.
