Ok..I am determined to try that tube method Jenny shows on one of her tutorials. I have a block of the month that is the basket. It has quite a few half-square triangles, so I thought now would be a good time to try this method. So: the finished triangle will be 2 1/2". Being math challenged, I figure I need to cut 2 strips that are 3"xWOF. Sew the 2 strips together on both sides, 1/4". Line up the ruler at 45 degree angle on the sewn line and cut. This would give me the 2 !/2" half square.

Did I get this right???
