Thanks bunches!! This way I can make at least half of my HST for my Ocean Waves quilt in no time, YAY :). The rest will be made from scraps, which are too small for this method, but now I have time for it.

I will ask the stupid question, which I should already know. When you begin to cut your fabric, do you pin them so they won't slip out of the lines? I have a problem that one part is larger than the other after I cut them.

I don't pin. I lay them on the mat and am careful to place the ruler on top rather than slide the ruler. Then when I cut, I carefully pick up the ruler and lay it back down. I don't touch the fabric at all until all of the cuts are made. You could pin, just be careful your pins stay away from your rotary blade!
