Next, onto each of the 2 units you add a square, again draw a diagonal line and sew on each side of it, and then cut apart and press. You end up with 4 units with no waste. As long as you cut accurately and sew accurately, this is a wonderful method.

This is the one I like to make too. Being new to quilting, it's easy to get each one perfect and consistant every time.

Wasn't there a link showing how you take 2 squares, right sides together, sew around all 4 sides,cut corner to corner, and corner to corner, turn and press. I haven't tried it yet,but sounded simple and accurate to me.
