This is how I do mine, but I use one of my square up rulers, use masking tape for the diagonal lines, then just cut with the ruler rather than marking & cutting. Draw your block on paper to decide how much you want it to tilt.

The way shown in that video creates a lot of waste. There is a way to cut two rectangles, then cut them again diagonally and sew them on, creating the tilted border with no waste. I did a quilt that way, but don't remember where I read the directions. If you keep looking online for tilted block sets I'm sure you will find it.

you could make one like this http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...d-t191417.html
just make sure the center square is cut larger... it is very forgiving and no waste at all.

If you don't mind making partial seams, you can try this method (something I copied ages ago):
