I've seen this method described in a couple of my quilting books as well. The authors refer to them as "bias squares".
I am with PP, I much prefer the grid method when needing to make a lot of HST that are the same.

That seems like a lot of measuring and work to finally get to the HSTs. I prefer the Easy Angle ruler for HSTs. If you want 2.5" HSTs, you cut 2.5" strips and then cut the triangles down the strip with the Easy Angle ruler. Quick and easy and they go together well. I rarely need to trim anything after sewing.
The Easy Angle ruler was the best thing I ever learned about from Bonnie Hunter.
