Welcome to Keepsake Quilting Block Buster from Fons & Porter’s Love of Quilting. These blocks have been stitched in a variety of fabric selections from Keepsake Quilting™ and designed for easy cutting with the Fons & Porter Half & Quarter Ruler. This

Choose fabrics with enough value variation to make the patchwork pieces show. These block buster patterns have 2 or 3 values in each block.

Cut a strip of fabric the width indicated in the chart.

Half-Square TrianglesStraighten left edge of fabric strip. Lay Fons & Porter Half & Quarter Ruler on straightened edge with yellow triangle up and yellow cutting guideline along bottom edge of fabric at strip width. (Cutting guideline indicates finished size of triangle leg.) Cut along right edge of ruler. Turn ruler and align yellow cutting guideline along top edge of strip. Cut indicated number of triangles.

Quarter-Square TrianglesLay Fons & Porter Half & Quarter Ruler on strip with black triangle up and black cutting guideline along bottom edge of fabric at strip width. (Cutting guideline indicates finished size of hypotenuse of triangle.) Cut along both edges of ruler. Turn ruler and align black cutting guideline along top edge of strip and left edge along previous cut. Cut indicated number of triangles.

special ruler enables you to cut squares, rectangles, and two types of triangles from the same width strip—great for scrap quilts or just making one block. For each block we show you a photograph, piecing diagrams, and a cutting chart for 6”, 9”, and 12” blocks. The alternate value

option is set together as a patch of four blocks—many times blocks set together with no sashing or as setting blocks make interesting hidden designs. Follow the Cutting Chart numbers for the finished-size block you are making. Then sew the pieces together following the piecing diagrams.

Important Note:Instructions are written to cut triangles using special triangle rulers. You can cut both half-square and quarter-square triangles with the Fons & Porter® Half & Quarter Ruler. If you don’t have this ruler, you can use an Omnigrid® 96 or 96L or an Easy Angle ruler to cut half-square triangles in the same manner.Cut quarter-square triangles with an Omnigrid® 98 or 98L or a Companion Angle ruler.

Do not cut triangles by cutting squares and then cutting the squares in half diagonally unless directed to do so for a few blocks that have triangles too large to cut with one of the special triangle rulers.
