white pine - i imagine you are using what I called the stripo tube ruler, and someone, was it you?, called it wonder ruler or something like that.
Yup there are far more than one way to conquer the proverbial beast.

I also don't have a 2-1/2" square ruler, so I'm going to use MSQC Jenny's method of sewing around the square and cutting in fourths. I just have to figure out what size square to start with. I thought about using the tube method as well, but I don't have a tube ruler.
Edited to add: I just remembered that Jenny has a video on how to cut a tube with a regular square ruler, in case anyone is interested -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOWS...eature=related

I just now finished printing out the directions, guess I have some work to get too!!

Yep, Judy. I'm using the Wonder Cut Ruler. It is fast and makes efficient use of fabric.

Thank you everyone for your compliments. I didn't use Judy's method. I had never seen it before. I will try it just not on this one, wanted to stay in my comfort zone as I needed them to be perfect. I cut 2-1/2 inch strips and used my easy angle and companion angle rulers to make the half and quarter square triangles. I cut the squares with my normal ruler. My flying geese and HSTs came out perfect.
