How to make and trim HRTs (half rectangle triangles)

Hello and welcome to Made Just sew. Join me as I make and trim half rectangle triangles, otherwise known as HRTs, to make the perfect points for any quilt pattern.
Many shy away from patterns which include making HRTs and I wanted to show you all how easy they really are to make. Give me a HRT over a flying-geese block any day!

I love this. This makes more sense than all those expensive rules out there that I can’t figure out how to use, thank you so very much for sharing this.

How do you know where to place the dots if you don’t have a pattern? I want a finished 4"x8" hrt, so I need to trim to 4 1/2" by 8 1/2" What size rectangles do I start with?
